The ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
have identified a 2015 deadline to establish an ASEAN Single Aviation Market
(ASAM) for the liberalization of air transport services in the region. Also referred to
as the “ASEAN Open Skies” policy, the aim is to have the ASAM in place by the
time the proposed ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) takes effect in 2015.
