It is an interesting point brought out by Wheelchock at the begining of this thread about non-EU carriers able to operate freely throughout Europe and most of the previous comments about this subject seem to be aimed at carriers from the USA, however whilst everybody was looking westward CAL the Israeli Cargo Air Lines has signed an agreement with the Belgian authorities to operate between Liege and New York.
If this sort of cavalier behavior by European regulatory authorities continues it will not only be companies like Cargolion that suffer.
It does not give anybody the incentive to start a freight airline in Europe as long as the EU goverments are going to lay down and roll over for any foreign carrier without a similar open skies policy in return.
Very sorry for you Cargolion guys and Bee Pee hope things get better and PDQ.
