A deal announced Friday will mean more airline flights between the U.S. and Israel, with airlines able to pick routes and destinations based on demand for passenger and cargo services, AP reported.
The agreement, which each country must sign before it can take effect, places no limit on the number of flights offered or the number of airlines that can fly between the two countries, according to the Transportation Department.
U.S. and Israeli airlines can market flights jointly and book passengers on trips in which one leg is operated by a carrier from the other country, the department said. That kind of ticketing arrangement is known as code sharing.
Previously, there were limits on the number of cities U.S. and Israeli airlines could serve in each other's country, as well as restrictions on code-sharing.
