Peters Announces Pact With Croatia
US
Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters announced Thursday the
United States and Croatia concluded an Open-Skies agreement that
will establish free trade in aviation services between the two
countries. The aviation agreement is the first between the
countries and comes after two days of negotiations in Zagreb,
Croatia.
"This agreement continues our effort to improve transportation
and trade ties with nations around the world that help our
companies and our travelers,” said Secretary Peters.
"Today’s agreement lays the groundwork for future air service
between the United States and Croatia that will provide new options
for travelers as well as economic benefits to both countries."
Under the new agreement, airlines from both countries will be
allowed to select routes and destinations based on consumer demand,
without limitations on the number of US or Croatian carriers that
can fly between the two countries or the number of flights they can
operate. The agreement also contains no restrictions on capacity
and pricing, and provides opportunities for cooperative marketing
arrangements, including code-sharing, between US and Croatian
carriers.
The US-Croatia agreement offers US cargo carriers special
benefits by allowing them to carry air cargo between Croatia and
third countries without requiring a stop in the United States, a
right known as "seventh-freedom" operations.
With this agreement, Croatia becomes the 91st US Open-Skies
partner. The agreement will take effect after it is signed.
