The Freedoms of the Air are international commercial aviation agreements (traffic rights)
that grant a country's airline(s) the privilege to enter and land in another country's airspace.
They were formulated in 1944 at an international gathering held in Chicago (known as the
Chicago Convention) to establish uniformity in world air commerce. There are generally
considered to be nine freedoms of the air.
Most nations of the world exchange first and second freedoms through the International
Air Services Transit Agreement.
The other freedoms, when available, are usually
established between countries in bilateral
or multilateral air services agreements.
The third and fourth freedoms
are always granted together.
The eighth and ninth freedoms
(cabotage) have been exchanged
only in limited instances.
(U.S. law currently prohibits cabotage operations.)
