June 1st, 2010
BY KEITH NUTHALL
THE EUROPEAN Union (EU) Council of Ministers has been asked to approve a new open skies deal negotiated by the European Commission with Indonesia, which will allow EU airlines free access to Indonesian airports. Similarly, airlines from Indonesia will be able to fly to airports in all 27 member states. The agreement replaces a patchwork of bilateral aviation deals between Indonesia and EU member states. Indonesian taxation on aviation fuel will have to comply with EU rules under the new agreement.
