THE HAGUE - On Friday, the Kingdom Council of Ministers approved a treaty that regulates the aviation relationship between Curacao and Finland. The treaty aims to regulate air connections between the two countries, such as granting the right of overflight and landing.
Due to its liberal content, the treaty falls into the category of 'Open Skies', in which the greatest possible operational and commercial freedom for the airlines is central. The treaty also contains the usual rules on safety, security, rates and taxes. The Kingdom Council of Ministers has approved the treaty in order to promote trade, tourism and investment.
Upon entry into force, the agreement will replace the Aviation Agreement between the Netherlands and Finland from 1949. As far as the Kingdom Council of Ministers is concerned, the treaty will only apply to Curaçao.
