    "content": "The Agreement between Kenya and Burkina Faso is a very important one because Burkina Faso is a very strategic country in West Africa. In the Agreement, as a Committee, we noted that the bilateral air service agreement between Kenya and Burkina Faso was negotiated and initiated on 20th August 2008 in Burkina Faso and operationalised by signing a memorandum of understanding. That is some time back thus the negotiations took some time. The Agreement provides for multiple designation of airlines, unlimited number of frequencies (this is very good for our country), no restrictions on aircraft capacity and an open and liberal routes schedule. We also further say that with regard with the exercise of the 5th Freedom of Traffic Rights, designated airlines can operate two frequencies with full 5th Freedom Traffic Rights on any four intermediate points and two beyond those points. This is a very good condition in the Agreement between Kenya and Burkina Faso. We have also confirmed that, currently, there is no Kenyan carrier that operates a scheduled air service to and from Burkina Faso. Similarly, there is no airline from Burkina Faso operating scheduled air services between the two states. However, the Burkina Faso authorities requested, through diplomatic channels, for the Agreement between the states to be formally signed during the ICAN 2018 held on 10th to 14th December 2018 in Nairobi. That is the scenario. We do not have any scheduled direct flights between these countries and those are the conditions the Agreement details between us. It is very good to have numerous frequencies of flights between the two countries. We hope that as we do this, the new Kenya Airways is listening. I will say something about it later on."
