October 2016, Ottawa, Canada – The Bahamas High Commission in Ottawa is pleased
to advise that the governments of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and
of the Republic of Turkey signed an Air Service Agreement today at the
Headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in
Montreal, Canada.
The High Commissioner
of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas to Canada, and Permanent
Representative to ICAO, His Excellency Dr. Calsey Johnson signed the
agreement on behalf of the Government of The Bahamas, and the Deputy
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport, Maritime Affairs and
Communication, Mr. Orhan Birdal signed on behalf of the Government of
the Republic of Turkey.

event for The Bahamas, as it is the very first time in its history that
The Bahamas has signed such an agreement. An Air Service Agreement
(ASA), also known as an Air Transport Agreement (ATA) is an agreement
which countries sign to allow international commercial air transport
services for passengers, cargo and mail between their territories.
The
event was witnessed by officials from The Bahamas and from Turkey who
