What is 6th Freedom?

Post by chornedsnorkack »

What precisely is the 6th freedom?

If one flies an airline to an airport in the home country of the airline and then the same airline to a third country, when is such a trip legal use of 3rd and 4th freedom, and when is a violation of the lack of 6th freedom committed?

If I remember well, the difference is that in the 6th freedom you sell B to C via A as one ticket. When you use a combination of 3rd and 4th freedom rights you have to sell to tickets B to A and A to C.

A Home country
B Country of origin
C Country of destination

Cheers,

Stij is right - a nice and short explanation can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedoms_of_the_air
