Emirates Is Now Selling 5th Freedom Boeing 777 Tickets Between Singapore & Phnom Penh

Fifth freedom routes are an exciting part of aviation, especially if they involve an exotic airline or unusual airports – and if tickets are inexpensive. Assume an airline flies A-B-C, where A is an airport in its home nation. It may gain traffic rights to carry passengers from B-C and vice versa, legs that do not touch its homeland, which is the definition of a fifth freedom operation. Emirates recently added Dubai-Miami-Bogota on this basis – and another route has been announced.
