What is Third Freedom Right?

Third freedom right is a term used in aviation that refers to the right of an airline to transport passengers or cargo from one country to another without picking up any passengers or cargo from the second country. The third freedom right is one of the five freedoms of the air and is typically granted through bilateral agreements between countries.

This right is important for airlines that operate long-haul flights and want to transport passengers or cargo between two countries without having to stop in a third country.
