Europe-U.S. Open Skies Pact to Expand, No Imminent Changes

March 25, 2010 | Posted in: Airline News,Europe,Travel Tips

open skies europe u.s.

The three year old “Open Skies” agreement between the European Union and the U.S. that strips away regulations that allow airlines to “operate more freely across the Atlantic” as the New York Times notes, will be expanding.

Congress could still put up roadblocks on this issue: the agreement calls for steps that would remove  “constraints on foreign investment and market access that have been holding back the development of the most important aviation market.”

I like Jaunted’s comment: “Richard Branson, we’re looking in your direction.”

Also, this latest agreement would give Europe’s airlines new opportunities to fly between the U.S. and “third countries” in the future. And ultimately, it could mean prices come down. But note my use of the word, “could”. In this financial environment, anything’s possible, and I suppose we’ll have to wait and see.
