 Airline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The model of such an agreement was the Bermuda Agreement between the US and UK following World War II, which designated airports to be used for transatlantic flights and gave each government the authority to nominate carriers to operate routes.
Bilateral agreements are based on the "freedoms of the air," a group of generalized traffic rights ranging from the freedom to overfly a country to the freedom to provide domestic flights within a country (a very rarely granted right known as cabotage).
Most agreements permit airlines to fly from their home country to designated airports in the other country: some also extend the freedom to provide continuing service to a third country, or to another destination in the other country while carrying passengers from overseas.

This isolated anachronism, known as Bermuda II, is a dinosaur in the age of cyberspace.

According to the ICAO, the benchmark Bermuda Agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom, signed in 1946, was the first of almost 4,000 bilateral air transport agreements signed and registered with this organization as of today (ICAO, 2005).
For this reason, traditional bilateral aviation agreements are out of date and governments are starting to move toward agreements with country blocks rather than individual nations to create open skies between geographic regions.
The US-EU open skies agreement is an alternative to existing individual open skies agreements between the US and 15 EU member states, as well as existing restrictive bilateral agreement between the US and Ireland, Greece, Spain, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.
