There are bilateral treaties that govern aviation rights between the United States and Hong Kong, which cover both passenger services and cargo services. However, there is no "open skies" agreement between Hong Kong and the US, which generally refers to an agreement that allows unrestricted flights between countries. The current US-Hong Kong treaty specifies the number of flights permitted. Due to the highly regulated nature of awards for route authority between the two countries and the strict limits on number of flights.
