Abstract

INTRODUCTION The negotiations between the European Union and the United States aimed at establishing an Open Aviation Area, announced on 25 June 2003 and begun on 1 October of the same year, herald a new era not only in trans-Atlantic aviation relations but also in global air transport. What finds its way into any EU-U.S. agreement is likely to set the pattern for subsequent bilateral agreements even more dramatically than did the Bermuda I Agreement' of another era; indeed, it may become the basis of a multilateral arrangement. Combined air transport traffic in the EU and the United States represents approximately half of the world's aviation traffic as measured by passenger-kilometres performed.'- What the EU and the United States agree to will be impossible for other countries to ignore. This is particularly so given the ambitious negotiating agenda set by the EU, which now finds itself in the position of being the most ardent suitor seeking greater liberalization, a role once jealously claimed by the United States. Whereas United States-backed Open Skies agreements had focused mainly on removing restrictions upon the exercise of traffic rights, an Open Aviation Area as conceived by the EU would also seek to
