THE US Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, Mr Karan K. Bhatia, on Monday said that serious discussions with regard to adoption of an `open sky' agreement between the US and India were under way and likely to get accomplished in the near future.

Addressing an interactive session on `India-US Open Skies' organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Mr Bhatia said that such an agreement between the US and India would not only benefit consumers of air transportation, but also the airlines and both the economies.

Mr Bhatia assured the industry leaders that US carriers were very interested in India and looking at it as a potential destination.

However, he said that carriers from both sides are constrained by the outdated bilateral agreement that exists between the two countries governing air services.
