“The parties agreed on the mutual application of national laws concerning carriers, cooperation in flight safety, and aviation security per International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards,” the press service said in the statement.
According to the press release, the document also outlines principles for operating contractual routes, provisions on airport fees, customs duties for the movement of goods, and tariff regulations for designated carriers.
Earlier this month, the Russian Ministry of Transport announced that by the end of the year, direct flights to four countries, Tanzania, Kuwait, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia, will be launched.

In a February statement by Sputnik, Ambassador Kibuta highlighted that Russians had been actively travelling to Tanzania until recently and emphasized the necessity for direct flights between the two countries.
Last summer, during the second Russia-Africa summit, the Russian Union of Travel Industry advocated for mutually cancelling visas and initiating direct flights with various African countries. They noted that "Africa is a popular destination [among Russians], and expanding the flight network would enable tour operators to enhance their range of outbound tourism offers."
In February, the Africa Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Aeroflot, Russia’s flag carrier, had resumed flights to the Seychelles in 2022 and to Mauritius in 2023. The department also identified Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa as the most popular sub-Saharan African destinations for Russian tourists.
