Introduction

It seems that every day now, new initiatives and developments are announced building on the new (yet to be implemented) EU-US bilateral agreement. Some of these are announcements are additional capacity, capitalising on the new regulatory framework in a completely conventional, and foreseeable way; others are new service offerings that are apparently opening up as a result of the new arrangements. Geoff Dixon, CEO of Qantas has been quoted saying that he believes that the entire aviation world will be liberalised by 2015. That is starting to look possible. Furthermore, this trend is spreading. This month Japan announced a substantial liberalisation of its air services approach, Singapore continued to open new routes (it signed an open skies deal with Belgium) and China and the US significantly opened the cargo capacity between their two countries.
