The term '''chosen instrument''' refers to the airline selected for government support in developing and expanding international air services.<ref>{{cite book |title=A Dictionary of Aviation |first=David W. |last=Wragg |isbn=9780850451634 |edition=first |publisher=Osprey |year=1973 |page=92}}</ref> Preference, and if necessary a subsidy, is given to the chosen instrument in order that its services be developed without suffering undue competition, and the chosen instrument is also the airline nominated for the national share of the services agreed in any air traffic agreement (q.v.). Before World War II the British and American governments were operating chosen instrument policies, respectively favouring [[Imperial Airways]] and [[Pan American World Airways]].
