EU-China Sign Historic Bilateral Agreements
Regulators in Europe and the People’s Republic of China eliminate legal ambiguity with a new air services agreement.

As Comac continues to struggle to bring its ambitious C919 project in line with international requirements, Chinese and European regulators on Monday inked two aviation agreements to boost cooperation in airworthiness and environmental certification, flight operations, air traffic control, licensing, and training. The landmark deals—a bilateral civil aviation safety agreement and a so-called horizontal air services agreement—are the first of their kind between the two countries.
