BMI has urged European Union and US negotiating teams to "seize the historic opportunity" offered by talks on open skies across the Atlantic. The airline said the teams have a real opportunity to bring to an immediate end the illegal agreement that limits the number of airlines that can provide competitive services from Heathrow to the US. Virgin Atlantic has also said negotiators should not bow to US carrier demands. The EU and US will meet in Brussels next week after a gap of 18 months to try to bring about an open skies agreement between the EU and the US.
