Abstract

The EU-ASEAN Comprehensive Air Transport Agreement (CATA) is the latest example of the EU’s effort to set a “global benchmark” in the regulation of international air transport. The EU-ASEAN CATA is an exceptional ASA for its geographic coverage, liberalizing impact, and expanded substantive scope. As the first-ever bloc-to-bloc ATA with 27 EU member states and 10 ASEAN member states respectively and a combined population of 1.1 billion, the EU-ASEAN CATA will make a significant impact not only on stakeholders in the EU and ASEAN, but furthermore on the rest of the world. The article aims to thoroughly examine the landmark EU-ASEAN CATA from its evolutional path to its potential as a global benchmark.
