Can I fly from

My airline is based in Ireland. My flight LHR-ORD isn’t selling? Any idea why this is? I should have the rights. . .

2

No, you don't have the rights. The EU Treaty does only work within the EU. For flights to the U.S. or elsewhere, you need to start the route in your home country.

3

Oh really. So it doesn’t reflect the EU-US open skies agreement. Damn.

4

Is there a reason why openskies isn’t reflected in the game?

Yep, its still fairly new and rather complex to implement. Also many players already get confused about traffic rights.

6

I would think this would be incredibly simple to implement, as its not a bilateral - or is it?

7

It is not bilateral, but it is also not easy to implement as we also have the EU treaty and the given rights would result in a combination of both.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: An American company could do this, but an Australian or French enterprise cannot. As an Australian enterprise, you have full passenger traffic rights for SYD-SFO, but the SFO-CDG segment can only carry continuing passengers. You can sign an interline agreement with an American enterprise who flies the segment and your passengers will transfer through. A cargo airline can do this, as cargo rights aren’t subject to passenger restrictions.

Trivial point: you can run a SYD-CDG via Perth, with reasonable load restrictions, (depending on the plane type and cabin configuration) and have full traffic rights on all segments.

or you know....make a stop over at some ridiculously small airport so that no one would want to get off there and everybody travels to CDG :D
