Open Skies means unrestricted access by any carrier into the sovereign territory of a country without any written agreement specifying capacity, ports of call or schedule of services. In other words an Open Skies policy would allow the foreign airline of any country or ownership to land at any port on any number of occasions and with unlimited seat capacity. There would be no restriction on the type of aircraft used, no demand for certification, no regularity of service and no need to specify at which airports they would land. Defined in this manner, it is not surprising that Open Skies policies are adopted only by a handful of countries, most commonly those that have no national carriers of their own and that have only one or two airports. No sovereign country of any eminence practices Open Skies least of all the European Union, UK, USA, Japan, Australia or countries in South East Asia.
