beyond right; fifth freedom right
A technical term in international aviation law. Refers to the right to carry passengers or cargo from one's own country to a second country, and then on to a third country. Often discussed in the context of air service agreements.
In the aviation agreement between Japan and the US, the handling of beyond rights became a major point of contention.
By exercising beyond rights, an airline can extend its route to a third country.
Compound of 以遠 (いえん, 'beyond') and 権 (けん, 'right'). The term is a direct translation of the English 'beyond right' used in aviation contexts.
