Third Freedom of the Air Law and Legal Definition
Third freedom of the air refers to the right of state to fly from one's own country to another country. It is the freedom to carry traffic from a home country to another country for purpose of commercial services.
Third freedom of the air is considered as the first commercial freedom of the air.

It is also known as a third freedom right.
