These operational letters of agreement include the unification of SAR procedures, which consists of providing search and rescue services in emergency situations, in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations for Colombia and Venezuela, as well as cooperation for mutual training and education. This will increase safety in air operations between the two countries, improve in-flight information, and create cooperation for mutual training and education.
The documents will be the guide to achieve the objectives of development and growth of civil aviation between both States, in an orderly, safe and sustainable manner.
