Global airlines are governed by nine "freedoms of the air," drafted 80 years ago in 1944.
The fifth freedom can give airlines a competitive edge and help capitalize on demand.
"Five Freedom Agreements"Qantas flies a Boeing 787 on its fifth freedom route between Sydney and New York.
Seventh FreedomThe seventh freedom is similar to the fifth freedom but takes out the limitation of where the route must start or end.
Ninth FreedomAdvertisementThis cabotage freedom allows an airline of one nation to fly between two points in a separate single country.
