Armenia, U.S. conclude full Open-Skies agreement

PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. and Armenia concluded a full Open-Skies agreement, the first aviation accord between the two countries, announced the U.S. Secretary of Transportation.



"With this agreement, Armenia becomes the 94th U.S. Open-Skies partner," Secretary Mary E. Peters said.



Open-Skies refers to a bilateral (and sometimes multilateral) Air Transport Agreement which liberalizes the rules for international aviation markets and minimizes government intervention - the provisions apply to passenger, all-cargo and combination air transportation and encompass both scheduled and charter services; or adjusts the regime under which military and other state-based flights may be permitted.
