U.S., Barbados Reach Open-Skies Aviation Agreement

Published on: July 6, 2010

The United States and Barbados have reached an Open-Skies Agreement that will liberalize U.S.-Barbados air services for airlines of both countries.

Barbados will become the 99th U.S. Open-Skies partner. Once the agreement is signed, airlines from both countries will be allowed to select routes, destinations and prices for both passenger and cargo service based on consumer demand and market conditions.

For those of us who enjoy travel to Barbados, this is a very big deal and it should bring more competitive airlift to Barbados. In addition, watch for the Barbados Tourism Authority and resorts on the island to team up and offer special incentives for those who are considering a visit to Barbados.

The agreement, which was reached on July 1, for the first time provides airlines of both countries with code-sharing and intermodal rights.

The previous U.S.-Barbados air service agreement, signed in 1982, contained restrictions on the cities that carriers could serve and placed limits on charter operations. The new agreement will remove these restrictions and provide important enhanced cargo rights.
