Parliament gave its consent to the EU's conclusion of an air transport agreement with the United States, Iceland and Norway, and to an ancillary agreement on its application.
The agreement liberalises market access, capacity, pricing and routes between the EU and US aviation markets, and includes social and environmental provisions.
It has been provisionally applied since 2007 and has brought economic benefits, with transatlantic passenger numbers reaching a record high.
