My vote is on option 2. That's it, nothing more.
On what legal grounds?!
NAI has not violated the Open Skies treaty. The treaty does not prevent a European company applying for an AOC in another European country.
What everyone is confusing is that the labour provision in the Open Skies treaty (Article 17 bis) states that a carrier cannot use provisions of the treaty to undermine labour standards. So which provision of the treaty have they used to undermine labour standards? Please cite which provision exactly.
