DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, November 7. The Civil
Aviation Agency under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan
and the U.S. Federal Civil Aviation Administration (FAA) have
initiated work on a draft intergovernmental agreement on air
communications, Trend reports.
The issue was discussed during a meeting between Nazarzoda
Habibullo Temur, Director of the Civil Aviation Agency of
Tajikistan, and Kristen Gatlin, Deputy Director of the FAA, held in
Washington. The sides reviewed the key provisions of the upcoming
agreement, which aims to establish a legal framework for regular
air services and enhance cooperation in flight safety,
certification, and air traffic management.

up connectivity with countries like China, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
