Droit ou privilège, dans le contexte de services aériens internationaux réguliers, de transporter, en passant par l'État dont le transporteur a la nationalité, du trafic entre deux autres États. [Définition uniformisée par l'OACI.] 1, record 1, French, - sixi%C3%A8me%20libert%C3%A9%20de%20l%27air

La Sixième liberté de l'air ne représente pas strictement un droit distinct et n'est pas négociée par des États. Elle résulte plutôt de la capacité d'une compagnie aérienne à combiner les droits de troisième et quatrième libertés en vertu d'accords bilatéraux distincts de services aériens, de telle sorte qu'elle puisse offrir un service entre pays tiers au moyen d'une correspondance dans son pays d'origine. Par exemple, Air Canada peut acheminer un voyageur entre Los Angeles et Paris en combinant les droits en vertu des accords Canada/É.-U. et Canada/France et prévoir une correspondance pour ce passager à Toronto. 2, record 1, French, - sixi%C3%A8me%20libert%C3%A9%20de%20l%27air

Les cinq libertés de l'air. a) Comme conséquence de ces principes et textes de base, les «droits de trafic» sont exclusivement du ressort des gouvernements. Ces droits de trafic se définissent en cinq libertés de l'air (les deux premières dites «techniques» et les trois autres «commerciales») : 1re liberté : droit de traverser le territoire sans atterrir (droit de survol); 2e liberté : droit d'atterrir pour des raisons non commerciales (escale technique); 3e liberté : droit de débarquer du trafic (passagers, marchandises ou poste) embarqué sur le territoire de l'État dont l'aéronef possède la nationalité; 4e liberté : droit d'embarquer du trafic à destination du territoire de l'État dont l'aéronef possède la nationalité; 5e liberté : droit d'embarquer et débarquer du trafic à destination ou en provenance de tout autre État (c'est-à-dire entre États autres que celui de l'aéronef). 3, record 2, French, - libert%C3%A9s%20de%20l%27air
