The European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) is a single market in aviation services.

ECAA agreements were signed on 5 May 2006 in Salzburg, Austria between the EU and some external countries. It built upon the EU's acquis communautaire and the European Economic Area. The ECAA liberalises the air transport industry by allowing any company from any ECAA member state to fly between any ECAA member states airports, thereby allowing a "foreign" airline to provide domestic flights.

Brexit

When the UK leaves the European Union in March 2019 (Brexit), the UK will not be part of the Common Aviation Area. The British airline EasyJet which has many flight outside the UK decided to set up a subsidiary in Austria whilst keeping its headquarters in Luton, England. Unless permission or new treaties with the UK are made, aviation to and from the UK may stop.^[12]
However, the British government has taken various steps to ensure the continuation of air travel, such as an open skies agreement with the United States of America.^[13]
