Ukraine and Turkey are to review the terms of an intergovernmental agreement on air services.

As the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry’s press service said, the new draft document was approved at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

The document foresees the mutual recognition of crewmembers’ ID cards and establishes a mechanism for inspecting airlines to assess their compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, the press release said.

The agreement will also define the procedure for regulating international flights during the operation of routes between Turkey and Ukraine and the order for assigning flights to airlines, as well as set conditions under which permission to operate regular flights will be given or withdrawn from airlines.
