Australia signs open skies with Japan

The Australian Government has signed an open skies agreement with Japan's leaders allowing an unrestricted number of direct flights between Australia and Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The agreement signed late last week will see daily flights flying between Australian airports and Haneda, the removal of capacity between all Australian and Japanese airports with the exception of Tokyo's Narita Airport. According to an online statement carriers will have unrestricted access between Australia and Narita Airport by 2013. Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Anthony Albanese said the agreement would mount to economic benefits, allowing up to one million people fly between the two countries each year.
