Beyond rights is another name for the Fifth Freedom of air travel, as defined by the Convention on International Civil Aviation in 1944, otherwise known as the Chicago Convention.
The Convention established the "building blocks" for international air transportation regulations, which are widely referred to as the "freedoms of the air," and are fundamental to the international route network we have today. There are a total of nine such freedoms.[1]
"Beyond rights" refer to the Fifth Freedom which gives the right of an airline from one country to land in a second country where it picks-up additional passengers, and then fly on to a third country where the passengers then deplanes.[2] An example would be an American Airlines flight from the United States to England that is going on to France. Traffic could be picked up in England and taken to France under the Fifth Freedom.
