Freedoms of the Air/ Freiheiten der Luft

Specific rights entitling an airline to transport passengers/cargo/mail over/via/between sovereign territories.

Currently there are generally considered to be nine freedoms of the air. Although these operations are called "freedoms", they are not necessarily available to an airline. Most nations of the world exchange first and second freedoms through the International Air Services Transit Agreement. The other freedoms, to the extent that they are available, are usually exchanged between countries in bilateral or multilateral air services agreements. The eight and ninth freedoms (cabotage) have been exchanged only in limited instances.

Under current law, and especially the 1944 Chicago Agreement, international air transport is governed by the principle of national sovereignty, and this places legal restrictions on air traffic. To remove these restrictions, liberalization involves establishing a number of "freedoms", as defined in legal literature and, in some case, international agreements. These freedoms are usually identified by an ordinal number, rising according to the degree of liberalization.

The technical freedoms established by the international agreement on the transit of air services (Chicago, 07DEC44) are:

• First freedom - the right to pass over the territory of the signatory States without landing.

Example: JL flies from Japan over Russia en route to the United Kingdom.

24

• Second freedom - the right to land in the territory of the signatory States for non-commercial reasons such as refueling without boarding or deplaning passengers.

Example: PR flies from the Philippines and lands to refuel in Guam en route to the San Francisco.

Commercial freedoms laid down bilateral or multilateral agreements

• Third freedom - the right to set down passengers, mail and freight taken up in the territory of the State in which the aircraft is registered. This means that the airline from one country may land in a different country and deplane passengers coming from the airline’s own country.

Example: QF flies from Australia to Singapore.

• Fourth freedom - the right to take on passengers, mail and freight destined for the territory of the State in which the aircraft is registered. In this case an airline from one country may land in a different country and board passengers traveling to the airline’s own country.

Example: KE carries passengers from Hong Kong to Korea.

• Fifth freedom - sometimes referred to as "beyond rights". It is the right to take on passengers, mail and freight destined for the territory of any other contracting State and the right to set down passengers, mail and freight originating in the territory of any other contracting State. This also means the right to enplane traffic at one foreign point and deplane it in another foreign point as part of continuous operation also serving the airline’s homeland

Example: SQ has fifth freedom rights to carry traffic between Singapore and Los Angeles, on services which stop at Korea enroute between Singapore and Los Angeles.

Freedoms defined by legal literature:

• Sixth freedom - the right to provide transport services between two countries other than the country in which the aircraft is registered across the territory of that country. This means the right to carry traffic from one state through the home country to a third state. (Sixth freedom can also be viewed as a combination of fourth and third freedoms secured by the country of registry producing the same effects as the 5th freedom vis-à-vis both foreign countries.)

Example: SA carries sixth-freedom traffic between New York and Perth via Johannesburg by carrying passengers traveling from New York to Johannesburg and then on to Australia.

• Seventh freedom - the right to operate completely outside the territory of the state of registration and to set down or take on passengers, mail or freight originating in or destined for a third State which is not the State of registration.

25

In other words, this is the right to carry traffic from one state to another state without going through the home country.

LA operates between Lima and Los Angeles without serving Chile.

• Eighth freedom - also called cabotage and almost no country permits it. Airline cabotage is the carriage of air traffic that originates and terminates within the boundaries of a given country by an air carrier of another country.

Example: MNL PR HNL PR SFO where travel on PR between HNL and SFO is 8th freedom traffic.

Additional unofficial freedom of the air:

• Ninth freedom - the right or privilege of transporting cabotage traffic of the granting country on a service performed entirely within the territory of the granting state (also known as "stand alone cabotage"). This is different from the eight freedom because the eighth freedom is tied in to an international leg whereas ninth freedom is purely cabotage or domestic travel.

Actually (in 2006) no example exists.

Most countries such as the USA prohibit cabotage operations by foreign airlines.

Freely associated states

Republic of Marshall Islands and Federated States of Micronesia (along with Republic of Palau) are constitutional governments "in free association" with the US (also known as "freely associated states"). They are independent of U.S., except notably for defence matters, and relations with these two States are handled by State Dept. Any IATA fares/rates agreement involving Marshall Islands or Micronesia would be considered non-US related.
