It’s right around the corner and coming fast. The U.S.-U.K Open Skies agreement is less than a month away and will change the travel industry forever.
Open Skies agreements remove regulatory limits on the number of carriers a country may designate, the number of flights, the routes flown, and the type of aircraft an airline may use. Open routing allows carriers to continue flights on to third-country markets and covers operations by scheduled and charter operators, for passenger and all-cargo services
The new agreement, which will take effect March 30, 2008, will extend “Open Skies” principles to 11 EU countries where the United States has had restrictive agreements or none at all, including Greece, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The United States and the EU have agreed to begin second-stage negotiations on further liberalization within 60 days of application of the agreement.
Experts claim that creating a more reliable, efficient air transport system will increase worldwide productivity by reducing distances between manufacturers, suppliers, and customers. It also will help improve supply chain efficiencies by enabling companies to operate just-in-time, manufacturing processes.
But what does all this mean to your travel management program and processes? What are the benefits as well as potential pitfalls of this new agreement as it relates to corporate travel?
