'GCC with governments, military and security are working together to create a single open sky in the Gulf which enable GCC carriers to operate freely between cities without any commercial restrictions including restrictions on route, the number of flights and the setting of fares,' Abdullah Al Rumaihi said on the sidelines of the second Civil Aviation Navigation Services Organisation (Canso) conference.
