US, Liberia Sign Open Skies Agreement

The United States and Liberia have announced that they have signed a comprehensive open skies framework to expand their bilateral civil aviation relations.

The agreement was signed on 15 February by US Ambassador to Liberia Donald E. Booth and the Director General of the Liberia Civil Aviation Authority, Richelieu A. Williams.

The countries said that the deal was reached after talks in January 2007.

The US-Liberia aviation agreement will allow airlines from the two countries to make commercial decisions with minimal government intervention. It will reportedly provide for open routes, capacity, frequencies, designations and pricing, as well as cooperative marketing arrangements, including code-sharing.
