It was referred to in another thread, but I am not quite sure what it is.
I assume that it has something to do with a foreign airline picking up and dropping off passengers in another country. Am I warm?
cheers,
Right.. Cabotage is "..the exclusive right of a country to control the air traffic within its borders". For example, if a foreign carrier would be permitted to pickup & dropoff passengers within a country that the carrier is not based in
(e.g., DL picking up/dropping off passengers between YUL and YFC),
it would be said to be practising cabotage.
