Destination Dominican Republic: A US-DR Open Skies Agreement to strengthen cultural ties and economies (The Hill; 1/16/2024)

For most U.S. travelers who fly overseas, their journeys are made possible by something known as an “Open Skies Aviation Agreement” (Open Skies Agreement) — an international agreement negotiated between the U.S. Department of State and foreign countries that allows more frequent and cheaper commercial flights between the U.S. and the other partner country. These agreements are critical to reunite families, access greater opportunities abroad, close important business deals or simply allow adventure seekers to fulfill their dreams.
