This thesis presents an analytic review of the different definitions of "Open Skies Treaty". It mainly introduces American, Canadian and European views of Open Skies. We also propose our definition of Open Skies in a North American context including our NAFTA partner, Mexico. / Then, the thesis conducts a detailed study of the law and practice pertaining to regional Open Skies Agreements in Europe, Latin America, Australasia and in the Asia/Pacific region. / Afterwards, an analysis of the main provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement is made with reference to air transport. Follows, an overview of the state of the Canadian air transport industry and policy. / More importantly, a complete analysis of the New Air Transport Agreement Between Canada and the United States implementing an Open Skies regime as for 1995 is made in Chapter V. / Finally, a critical analysis of this Open Skies Agreement is made and perspectives are given as to the future inclusion of Mexico, Chile and, later on, of all of Latin America.
