Hello Lads and Ladets.
Just wondering now that we have decided to jump in bed with our cousins across the lovely Atlantic Ocean just wondering how the process for an airline to fly from Europe to the USA works.
In Europe we are allowed to fly between the various EU countries without the need for any special lisences so long as we file a flight plan between point A and B, however do we need to apply for 5th freedoms to fly between Europe to the USA or any specific approvals from the DoD or the FAA, or can we just file a flight plan between the point of departure in Europe and point of Arrival in the USA.
I was with the thinking that all is needed is the flight plans and the landing slots and no special approvals but I had someone tell me there is a need for special approvals and also the applications for 5th freedoms if the operator in Europe has never previously flown to the USA, if that is the case whom would issue that 5th freedom and what is the process of such applications.
Any ways hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and you murdered a few Turkeys YUM YUM, and best of Luck and prosperety for the up coming year.
