ACI-LAC’s agenda: Liberalization, the importance of a state aviation policy, and the development of airport cities

By Rafael Echevarne, ACI-LAC Director General  At ACI-LAC we will soon publish a study on liberalization in the Caribbean.

High travel costs, institutional fragmentation, and ineffective regulatory frameworks have created a "liberalization on paper" that fails to deliver real benefits. The study will propose advancing toward effective liberalization with convergent rules, bilateral incentives, and reduced fiscal burdens, so aviation can truly drive integration, competitiveness, and sustainable progress in the region. Brazil has taken a historic step by establishing the Connect Agenda as a state policy for civil aviation—an initiative that [...]
