Afp, Washington
The United States on Friday hailed an "open skies" agreement with the European Union, saying the deal would boost economic activity and help lower air fares. US Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said the tentative deal, announced earlier in Brussels, would be beneficial to all sides. "The US and the EU have come together today to open our skies and expand the freedom of air travel between the world's two largest aviation markets," Peters said in a statement.
