I. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this initiative is to advance the full liberalisation of air transport services in ASEAN, to achieve the ASEAN Leaders’ vision of Open Sky in the ASEAN region. This Roadmap will build upon the Roadmap for ASEAN Competitive Air Services Policy adopted by the Ninth ATM Meeting in Yangon, Myanmar in October 2003. The Roadmap will complement the overall policy goals of the Action Plan for ASEAN Air Transport Integration and Liberalisation to be adopted at the Tenth ATM in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in November 2004.
II. MEASURES
This Roadmap provides concrete actions that ASEAN Member Countries shall pursue to achieve greater and significant air transport liberalisation in ASEAN, through a staged and progressive implementation. This roadmap includes issues specific to a) Liberalisation of air freight services; and b) Liberalisation of scheduled passenger services.
In the implementation, two or more ASEAN Member Countries who are ready can negotiate, conclude and sign implementing agreements/arrangements in line with the ASEAN-X Formula, on a plurilateral, multilateral or sub-regional basis. The other Member Countries could join in the implementation when they are ready. ASEAN Member Countries can also conclude more liberal bilateral arrangements for air services liberalisation.
ASEAN Member Countries shall be provided flexibility with regard to the implementation of the proposed timeline for the specific measures.
III. COVERAGE
The liberalisation measures will cover the movement/carriage of both passengers and cargo or freight by air transport.
