US, Canada sign air agreement
The US and Canada agreed on a deal to make it easier to move goods and people to the two countries.
The agreement expands an existing treaty from 1995 that allows Canadian and US airlines to fly back and forth, but that arrangement limited the ability to fly to third countries.
The new arrangement allows a flight originating in one country to pick up passengers and cargo in another country and fly on to a third nation.
““This further liberalization of the Canada-US air transport relationship will allow airlines of both countries to better meet the needs of travelers and shippers,” said Canadian Transport Minister Jean Lapierre in a statement.
The new arrangement could lead to new markets and services, as well as lower prices and greater competition, he added.
Last year, almost 19 million passengers flew nonstop between the US and Canada.
The agreement will become effective next September.
