Expression often used in a broader sense as including freedom of air commerce-that is, as including not only freedom to fly, but also the freedom of aircraft of one nation to land in the territory of other nations and to take on and discharge traffic there. We thus speak of the Five Freedoms of the Air, which include traffic rights as defined by the Third, Fourth and Fifth Freedoms. 2, record 2, English, - freedoms%20of%20the%20air

The five freedoms of the air are: (1) The privilege to fly across (the) territory (of a State) without landing. (2) The privilege to land for non-traffic purposes. (3) The privilege to put down passengers, mail and cargo taken on in the territory of the State whose nationality the aircraft possesses. (4) The privilege to take on passengers, mail and cargo destined for the territory of the State whose nationality the aircraft possesses. (5) The privilege to take on passengers, mail and cargo destined for the territory of any other Contracting State and the privilege to put down passengers, mail and cargo coming from any such territory (International Air Transport Agreement, Chicago 1944). 3, record 2, English, - freedoms%20of%20the%20air

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
