The initial agreement was signed on April 30, 2007 in Washington, D.C. The agreement entered into force on March 30, 2008. The second phase was signed in June 2010 and has been applied on an interim basis until all signatories are ratified. [2] Another positive aspect of this agreement is the ability of EU airlines to set travel prices within the market at that time. For example, if the market is over a high distance, airlines have the option to adjust their prices accordingly. Similarly, airlines can lower their prices if the market is not doing very well and the economy is not necessarily positive at the moment, so that airlines can lower their prices so that citizens can still travel and the tourism sector can still prosper. Unlike the open skies, some governments have imposed protectionist measures on their airlines. After World War II, many countries invested in the formation of national airlines (including flag airlines or former airlines), which were often a national pride. Many of them were all or partly owned by the state. As international competition increased and threatened to harm underperforming airlines, some governments put in place protectionist measures to protect their airlines. The “open skies” agreement between the EU and the United States is an agreement on air services between the European Union (EU) and the United States. The agreement allows any Airline of the European Union and any airline of the United States to fly between every point of the European Union and any point of the United States.
EU and US airlines are allowed to travel to another country after their first stop (fifth freedom). Since the EU is not considered a single zone within the meaning of the agreement, this in practice means that US airlines can fly between two points in the EU as long as this flight is the continuation of a flight that started in the US (. B for example, New York – London – Berlin). EU airlines can also fly between the US and third countries that are part of the common European airspace, such as Switzerland. EU and US airlines can fly all-cargo under the 7th Freedom Rights, which means that all-cargo flights by US airlines can be operated by an EU country to any other EU country and all-cargo flights can be operated by EU airlines between the US and any other country. [1] Norway and Iceland joined the agreement from 2011 and their airlines enjoy the same rights as THE EU airlines. [2] Some states apply this policy only at certain airports, not the country as a whole.
