The document discusses the Open Skies policy in the Philippines. Open Skies allows passenger and cargo flights to fly over an area without restrictions between two or more countries. Executive Order 219 established the policy in the Philippines in 1995, limiting it to major airports. Executive Order 500-A expanded it in 2006 to include Diosdado Macapagal International Airport and Subic Bay International Airport. Executive Order 29 further expanded it in 2011 to allow foreign carriers to operate in any Philippine airport. The policy aims to promote free market competition, cooperative marketing, and competitive pricing. It provides economic benefits through increased tourism, trade, employment, and investments. Potential advantages include more flight choices and cheaper costs, while disadvantages include increased security risks and
