Canada and EU liberalise air services

Canada and the European Union (EU) have signed a comprehensive air transport agreement.    The landmark deal replaces a patchwork of bilateral agreements Canada had with 19 of the 27 EU member states. It allows any carrier from either market to operate direct service between anywhere in Canada and anywhere in the EU without restrictions on frequency, capacity, pricing or other artificial market barriers.   The agreement also covers eight EU member states (Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia) with which Canada did not previously have air agreements.   It includes Open Skies for cargo.   The decision has been welcomed by the Canadian Airports Council (CAC).    Aircargo Asia Pacific
