EU's revision of the third package of its aviation regulation became law Saturday. The regulation lays down rules for the granting of operating licenses, control of airlines and market access. It also requires carriers to include all taxes and charges in published ticket prices and bans price discrimination based on place of residence. "Fair competition is the key to success. With price transparency, passengers will know in advance how much they are going to pay and will be able to make informed choices," European Commission VP-Transport Antonio Tajani said. The rules applicable to public service obligations have been revised, while remaining restrictions in bilateral air service agreements between member states have been abolished with respect to intra-Community air services and codesharing.
