Aviation deal to open up Heathrow
The UK Department of Transport has proposed an aviation deal which would open up Heathrow to more US carriers.
US authorities have so far rejected any agreement that falls short of open skies, but they are at least considering the proposal this time.
Transatlantic services to Heathrow are currently limited to American Airlines, United Airlines, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.
Under the new proposal, the US and UK would each be allowed to add two new daily flights for any carrier beginning in summer 2003 and another two daily flights beginning in summer 2004.
It is thought the US could divide its flights up among as many as four carriers which currently do not have access to Heathrow.
The UK wants to give BMI-British Midland transatlantic flights from Heathrow. But the deal may not be enough to satisfy the competing interests of numerous US carriers who want access to Heathrow.
