Indian Cabinet Approves Aviation Safety Agreement With Russia
The Indian cabinet approved Tuesday the signing of an aviation safety promotion agreement with Russia, the Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
Under the agreement, each side would conduct technical assessment to understand each other's standards and systems in areas like air-worthiness, environmental testing, maintenance facilities, approval of flight operations and approval of aviation training establishments, the PTI noted.
Indian Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pramod Mahajan told the PTI that if technical assessment finds that standards, systems, rules, procedures and practices are compatible, then each side would agree to accept a certification of the other side on a reciprocal basis.
The agreement was a follow-up of the setting up of the Indo- Russian Working Group for promoting cooperation in civil aviation in January last year, the PTI added.
