...ONE TRADE DEAL AFTER ANOTHER...:
U.S. and Mexico Agree to Liberal Air-Service Treaty (SUSAN CAREY and LAURENCE ILIFF, Dec. 18, 2015, WSJ)
The U.S. and Mexico reached a liberal air treaty that would clear the way for airlines on both sides of the border to set their own prices and fly any routes they choose between the two nations with unlimited frequency. [...]The accord "lays the groundwork to take advantage to the maximum of the boom in the airline industry happening in both countries," said Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, Mexico's transportation and communications minister. The treaty encourages code-sharing among U.S. and Mexican carriers and would boost the overall number of fliers between the nations, Mr. Ruiz Esparza said.
