THE Philippines and the United States have started negotiating for an open skies agreement that would increase more flights between the two countries, US Ambassador to Manila MaryKay Carlson said.
This, as the number of Filipinos who applied for non-immigrant visas rose to more than 300,000 in 2024, the highest ever in the history of US Embassy.
“Just last week, we kicked off open skies negotiations in Washington DC with the goal of modernizing our 40-year old aviation agreement that governs aviation connections between our two countries. Fifth freedom is a right granted to airlines that allows them to fly and carry passengers to two foreign countries, with the flight originating from or ending in their respective home countries.
