Singapore and Kenya have signed an air services agreement, allowing their airlines to operate more flights between the two countries.

Under the agreement, carriers from Singapore and Kenya will be allowed to "operate any number of air services between and beyond both countries", says Singapore's transport ministry.

However, there will be some restrictions on passenger services by Singapore carriers between Kenya and selected third countries, it adds.

"With this agreement, Singapore and Kenyan air carriers will now have the flexibility to plan their commercial operations to capitalise on market opportunities in both countries," says Singapore's transport minister Raymond Lim.

Singapore Airlines Cargo operates three weekly freighter services to and beyond Kenya, adds the ministry.
