Title: EU to vote on 'open skies' reform
Post by: casper on March 22, 2007, 10:56:25 AM

European Union (EU) transport ministers are due to vote on an "open skies" aviation deal with the US aimed at liberalising transatlantic air travel.
The deal eases restrictions on travel between Europe and the US, but the UK is said to be seeking concessions.

British Airways fears losing its hold on landing slots at London's Heathrow airport if the new deal goes through.
