ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASEAN-SAM) also known as
ASEAN Open Sky Agreement/Policy, is the region's major aviation policy. It is geared towards the development of a
unified and single aviation market among
ASEAN members in
Southeast Asia projected to begin 1 January 2016, though all agreements have not been signed. The aviation policy was proposed by the ASEAN Air Transport Working Group, supported by the ASEAN Senior Transport Officials Meeting, and endorsed by ASEAN Transport Ministers. The creation of the ASEAN-SAM was a key component of the road map for the establishment of the
ASEAN Economic Community.
