Just as we thought air travel couldn't get any freer, Belize and the US signed what is called a bilateral Air Transport Agreement. It is the first of its kind agreement between the two countries. The U.S. Chargé d Affaires, Keith Gilges and Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation Manuel Heredia signed the Agreement.
In his remarks, Chargé Gilges highlighted that the Agreement "not only expands opportunities for air travel and commerce between our countries, it reinforces our economic cooperation and strengthens our bilateral ties."
In a release sent today it states "this Open Skies Agreement …will benefit airlines, travelers, businesses, shippers, airports, and localities by permitting unrestricted reciprocal market access for passenger and all-cargo airlines to fly between our two countries and beyond. The Agreement also further commits both governments to high standards of safety and security.
