Paraguay and Argentina sign "Open Skies" MOU

Paraguay signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Argentina to join the latter's "open skies" policy which would allow airlines of each country to operate domestic routes within the other provided flights have a point of origin and a final destination in the carrier's nation. The initiative seeks to boost tourism and attract further investments. In addition to Paraguay, Argentina already has similar agreements with Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Panama, and Canada.
