Thank you for your post. As far as I was aware Fifth Freedom Rights, also referred to as 'beyond rights', allows an airline to carry revenue traffic between foreign countries as a part of services connecting the airline's own country. It is the right to carry passengers from one's own country to a second country, and from that country to a third country (and so on).
An example of a fifth freedom flight is an Emirates flight originating in Dubai, then going on to Brisbane, Australia, and then from Brisbane to Auckland, New Zealand, where tickets can be sold on any or all sectors, and in the reverse direction if flights are offered.
Since when did the fifth freedom allow allow subsequent stops in the same country which is what I said in my earlier post??
I welcome any feedback as to why my understanding may not be correct in this case.
Cheers
