SINGAPORE - The agreement between Singapore and Indonesia to realign flight information region boundaries will be a balm for bilateral relations, as it returns control of its own airspace to Indonesi

a, said analysts on Wednesday .

Describing the pacts as a"carefully negotiated and balanced set of agreements", PM Lee said both sides' important interests and concerns have been met. "This will ensure continued safety and efficiency of air traffic control in the skies above and around Singapore for the next quarter of a century, and hopefully beyond," he added.

He added:"This is a regular phenomenon worldwide, where the FIR of one country commonly overlaps with the sovereign airspace of others. Indonesia will also deploy personnel to Singapore to work with air traffic controllers under the pact, and this will"reduce noise and friction at the operational level in the long run", he noted.
