With the exception of the new services just agreed to, the governments of the two nations have agreed to maintain their current level of routes and airlines for the next 2-1/2 years, the agreement said.

The agreement resolved a dispute that arose in June when Colombia turned down American's request to operate flights between New York and Bogota, a denial that prompted the United States to charge that the Colombians were breaking a bilateral aviation agreement and to propose sanctions against one of two Colombian airlines, Avianca and ACES.
