is this implemented in airwaysim?

Not in usual game worlds. There are, however, special "challenge" game worlds from time to time where players are allowed to open bases worldwide without geographic limits. I remember the "Long-Haul Challenge" or the "Regional Challenge".

Both the 80s Challenge and Cargo Challenge game worlds more recently had this feature too.

Good to know. I didn't play those.

Also, this agreement was more in reference to trans-atlantic routes - which already exists in AWS. The key thing that is not, is the basing of EU airlines in the US (and vice versa). (although to Mort's point, some short games have allowed basing anywhere.)

No, it was just that some routes were previously reserved to some airlines, so it was a step further down the deregulation. Now, its free fight (or the mafia).
