    "content": "Further, the Agreement provides for multiple designation of airlines, limits the frequencies to seven, no restriction on aircraft capacity and an open and liberal route schedule. With regard to exercise of the 5th Freedom Traffic Rights, designated airlines can to be exchanged on reciprocal basis subject to approval by aeronautical authorities of respective parties. Frequencies are the number of landings. Therefore, the Agreement between Kenya and Cambodia limits the number to seven. It means they can land seven times in a day. That is what the frequencies mean. People may not understand the meaning of frequency and that is why I am trying to emphasise it. In the Agreement between Kenya and Cambodia, as a Committee, we observed that currently there is no Kenyan airline that operates scheduled air services to and from Cambodia. That is the truth. Similarly, there is no airline from Cambodia operating scheduled air services between the two states. The Cambodian authorities requested, through diplomatic channels, for initiation of the Agreement between the two states to be formally signed during the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) held between 10th and 14th December 2018 in Nairobi. Consequently, the Agreement was formally signed on 10th December 2018. That is why we are now seeking for it to be ratified by the House, so that it becomes law. That is what it means in summary, from the most crucial aspects that I have picked and explained to the House so that it can approve the Agreement between Kenya and Cambodia. If the House approves it, we will have scheduled flights to Cambodia. It will be good to note that Kenya Airways, at the moment, has about 53 destinations. Therefore, if the House approves this Agreement, then it has a chance to increase its destinations from 53 to 58. It will be good news for the Kenya aviation industry."
