Wall Street Journal Letter to the Editor: Bowing To Big 3 Demands Would Hurt The Economy

David Bronzek – November 26, 2015

U.S. open-skies agreements promote tourism and U.S. jobs, generate $4 billion in annual savings for passengers on U.S.-international routes, create air-cargo networks that enable U.S. exporters to reach distant markets and allow U.S. air carriers to transport troops and supplies for our military.

What Are Open Skies Treaties?

They are agreements between the United States and other countries that create open, competitive markets for international air travel. They enable airlines, not governments, to make decisions about routes, capacity, frequency, and pricing of their services, based on market demand.
