Freedom of the Air

the right or privelege, to fly across county’s territory without landing
land in the other’s state territory for non traffic purposes
(e.g. for refueling, repair etc.)
three commercial freedoms of the air
the right.. in respect to scheduled international air services, granted by one state to another, to put down, in the territory of the first State, traffic coming from the home State of the carrier.
the right.. in respect to scheduled international air services, granted by one state to another, to take on, in the territory o fthe first State, traffic destined for the home State of the carrier.
