The U.S. and the Caribbean nation of Grenada have entered
into an open skies agreement, allowing for unrestricted market access for
airlines to fly between the two countries.
The agreement went in to effect on Wednesday, replacing a
pact that had set limits on the number of airlines that could provide U.S.-Grenada service
and the city pairs that could be served, State Department spokeswoman Kerry
Humphrey said.
The agreement also liberalizes rules relating to cargo
carriers.
Airlines currently fly to Maurice Bishop Airport in Grenada from
Miami, Atlanta and New York. American flies from Miami, Delta from Atlanta, and
Delta and JetBlue from New York Kennedy.
