The new agreement is aimed at promoting the aviation relationship between the countries. It replaces a previous one from 1952
Israel's foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, and Greek foreign minister, Dimitris Droutsas, signed an aviation treaty last week, amid signs of strengthening ties between the two countries. The treaty replaces a previous aviation agreement between Israel and Greece that was signed in 1952.
The new aviation agreement regulates a variety of issues and is aimed at promoting the aviation relationship between the countries, including the appointing of additional carriers, enabling up to two carriers to service each side for each destination (instead of the present one), establishing rules for setting rates, establishing guidelines for settling differences through negotiation, mediation and arbitration, establishing a schedule of routes, setting up guidelines for mutual criticism of the agreement and the appointed air carriers regarding compliance with safety regulations that relate to aviation facilities, flight teams, aircraft or their operation, and other subjects.
