United Regional Sky: Concept and Reality

Abstract

In the recent years the concept of United regional sky became popular in the world aviation circles. In the European Union it is realized by the corresponding Agreement of 2006. The key point of the Agreement: the right to fly to any state – member of the Agreement with no limits as to choice of the route and number (frequency) of flights, as well as possibility to realize this right by any of the air companies registered in the participating state. The air space is divided into functional «blocs» depending of the streams of air movement but not of the national borders.
