Cabotage
• Limits the movement of passengers and goods within the territory of a
country to the country’s own air carriers
• Restricts foreign carriers to international movements
![Page 51: International Operations and Regulatory Update and Border Protection United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US–Visit) Program • US-VISIT requires that](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa8d68b7f8b9a81188c0307/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Cabotage - Open Skies
• Established January 2012
• The Open Skies Agreement provides criteria under which U.S. or
Canadian air carriers can operate charters in each other’s territories.
• It allows for designated airlines to carry international charter
passengers and/or cargo between any point or points with unlimited
stopovers in either country.
• Joins similar agreements between the U.S. and EU, Japan, Australia,
and Switzerland
![Page 52: International Operations and Regulatory Update and Border Protection United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US–Visit) Program • US-VISIT requires that](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa8d68b7f8b9a81188c0307/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Cabotage
• Movement of the passengers between the two locations in Canada is
not restricted as long as it is part of an overall charter contract.
• No cabotage violation occurs provided the movement is a continuation
of the original charter and the carrier is transporting the same
passengers to their next destination.

will be deemed to have been imported into Canada for the purposes
of that flight and will be subject to Good and Services Tax of 5% on
the value of the aircraft.
