American Eagle has applied for permission to fly to Chad, Uzbekistan and Australia.

Actually, AMR unit asked the U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday to give it blanket approval to fly to any country covered by "open skies" treaties between the United States and other nations. That includes those three countries, and 86 others.

The regional carrier already holds the rights to fly to some points in the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico, but would like to go anywhere that the U.S. has obtained those rights. That beats having to ask permission, country by country.

For all the countries covered by open skies treaties, keep reading.
