United States, Thailand Sign Open-Skies Aviation Agreement
U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta and Thai Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Kantathi Suphamongkhon yesterday signed an Open-Skies aviation agreement, removing restrictions on passenger service.
In September 2003 the United States and Thailand reached an agreement to remove restrictions on all-cargo service between and beyond the two countries. The new agreement also lifts restrictions on passenger service. The new agreement provides for a five-year transition to Open Skies for pricing and for some services beyond the other country. All other Open-Skies provisions take effect immediately.
Currently only Thai Airways, United Airlines and Northwest Airlines operate flights between the U.S. and Thailand -- the U.S. carriers via Tokyo.
