|
|
|
New Zealand and Finland have signed a new air services agreement during the 2014 Summit.
"This agreement will rank among the most liberal air services agreements in the world," said the Hon. Gerry Brownlee, Minister of Transport of New Zealand.
"Our alignment of views means under the agreement there are no restrictions on air transport between, beyond, and within the two countries." The agreement includes the exchange of
'cabotage' or '8th freedom' rights, which allows airlines to carry domestic
passengers within the territory of the other country.

and performance indicators for logistics.
