U.S., Israel open skies enters force
An open skies agreement between the United States and Israel entered into force Tuesday as both countries' governments completed an exchange of diplomatic notes.
The initial agreement was reached on Dec. 1.
'The agreement strengthens and expands our already strong trade and tourism links with Israel and will benefit American and Israeli businesses and travelers,' the U.S. Department of Transportation said. 'It will expand air service and encourage vigorous price competition by airlines, while safeguarding aviation safety and security.'
