Changes in air service agreement with Japan
by Jo BlackCivil Aviation Delegations of India and Japan held a meeting in Tokyo on 17-18 June, 2008 to discuss matters relating to further development of aviation relations between the two countries.
In a significant breakthrough, the Japanese Government have agreed to allot 20 additional slots w.e.f. March 2010 at the congested Narita international airport at Tokyo taking the total number of slots available for the Indian carriers to operate to Tokyo to 28.
Presently Indian carriers only have 8 slots at Narita airport, Tokyo, sufficient for only 4 flights per week.
Air India is already operating these four flights to Tokyo.
Further the Japanese authorities have assured that they shall be making sincere endeavour to allot 28 additional slots at the Narita or Haneda airport in a timely manner for the Indian carriers to operate additional 14 services to Tokyo.
Both sides have also agreed to expand the bilateral traffic entitlements in these talks.
The entitlements have been enhanced from 21 services/week to 42 services/week w.e.f. March 2010.
The Japanese carriers will be entitled to operate 14 services each on Tokyo-Delhi and Tokyo-Mumbai route in 2010 from the present level of 7 services each on these routes.
The Indian carriers will be able to operate upto 28 services/week from points in India to Tokyo.
With this liberalized arrangement, it is expected that there would be significant boost in traffic on direct Indian-Japan route.
At present, large traffic on the route goes through the intermediate destinations.
With addition of capacity, the fares are also likely to become more passenger friendly.
The Indian delegation was led by Mr. R.K. Singh, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, while the Japanese delegation was led by Mr.Ryuhei Maeda, Dy. Director General, Civil Aviation Bureau.
