Philippine Airlines currently has a flight with a routing of MNL-MEL-SYD-MNL. Does this qualify to be described as 8th freedom rights? --58.69.182.65 08:00, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Berlin-West Germany Flights during Cold War being considered Ninth Freedom

I am deleting the paragraph about Pan Am's (and, although not mentioned in the article, TWA, British Airways, and Air France) flights between West Berlin and West Germany because these flights in the strictest sense were not domestic flights. Although the Federal Republic of Germany did not have passport controls on flights arriving from West Berlin, West Berlin was not legally a part of the Federal Republic of Germany until unification in 1990. Therefore, those flights cannot be considered domestic as they were flown between two political entities. Furthermore, the West German authorities had no control over the use of those airports, which remained in control of the West Berlin occupying forces (who were the ultimate sovereign during the Cold War period) who only allowed airlines from their countries to fly into West Berlin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.153.220 (talk) 05:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
