Holding vs Subsidiary

Hi everyone,

I need some clarification. My ‘Holding’ company is based in Germany, but I want to operate a small subsidiary in the USA operating domestic and international flights.

Is this possible, as I am confused?

This is only possible for cargo flights. For Passenger flights you can only operate within the EU since you don’t have other traffic rights.

You will only have cargo transport rights for the US. A German holding comes with German passenger transport rights and transport rights from country A in the European treaty to country B in the treaty (e.g. France to Italy). International flights (ex EU) from any other country than germany won’t be possible either (e.g. France-US).
