The traditional bilateral air service agreements do have some restrictions that prevent foreign airlines to invest in foreign hubs, however, with the open skies agreements such restrictions do not exist and an airline will be able to fully exploit its investments in a foreign country thereby facilitating service between preferred cargo airports. The provision of such agreements also promote cargo services by guaranteeing access to customs facilities and processing, offering a range of ground-handling options, and availing surface transportation necessary for flights. Such provisions enable cargo carriers to efficiently monitor and control cargo from their point of departure to their final destination. This will enhance faster and safer delivery of cargo translating into value-added service to customers.
The benefits derived from the development in the international air transport is not limited to air services industry alone but spreads to cover several service providers, labor market, manufacturers, and the general economy of a state or country (InterVISTAS-ga, 2006). These benefits are felt through multiplier effect with the benefits starting from the communities in the proximity of the airports spreading further into other regions. Business and leisure travels will require services offered by other industries such as the hotel industry and tourism industry. Such demands have the ability of leading to the emergence of new industries in a region and give an area the opportunity of competing economically on a global scale.
Conclusion
Generally...
The benefits of such agreements are felt across all industries that depend on international air transport. The agreements also form the foundation for future closer integration of airlines and investment; also airlines find a way of expanding their routes both regionally and globally. Expansion of the air transport industry leads to higher competition between the airlines which motivate airlines to come up with better and unique strategies. The overall impact of this is development in the global economy due to a wider commercial air transport market.

S. domestic carriers are at period in the industry's history when these factors are already beleaguered by downturns in the global economy, increasing competition from international carriers, and the aforementioned high costs of energy. Chapter 2: The Impact of Open Skies Agreements on Domestic and International Carriers Under an open skies agreement, both signatories to the agreement enjoy open access to international airline routes between the two countries as well as eliminating
Deregulation in the European Airline Industry The European airline market: Transport is one of the key sectors in Europe with commercial, economic and cultural implications for the European Union citizens. It accounts for over 10% of Europe's GDP and provides jobs to nearly 10 million people. In the last two decades, air transport has shown the maximum rise in passenger volumes, with an average annual growth rate of 7.4%, in terms
These inconveniences associated with air travel have led many passengers to choose other forms of transportation including driving and taking the train. The research also found that the development of the Travel Promotion Act which is designed to specifically assist in reversing the decline in international travel to the United States.

This is problematic, because many are occurring because the planes are not full; leaving their passengers stranded at airports or forced to find other accommodations. This is significant, because this information can be used to show how some Thai's, were flying Air Asia based upon their low cost fares. However, once their
This is significant, because it shows how in the next three years, the airlines are going to face increasing amounts of competition, in a number of different markets. This is because the industry is targeting the same demographics of business and leisure travelers. As a result, the increased amounts of deregulation, will affect the industry in the future, as increased amounts of competition will more than likely mean lower
By the turn of the century, though, these low-costs carriers had become profitable or at least had significantly reduced their losses due in large part to concomitant increases by major carriers that were increasing their prices in response to decreasing yields and higher energy prices (Doganis 2001). By and large, passenger traffic across the board increased significantly prior to September 11, 2001 and all signs indicated it was continue to
