Ever heard about the Cabotage word?
Not to be confused with sabotage.
Airline cabotage is the carriage of air traffic that originates and terminates within the boundaries of a given country by an air carrier of another country. Rights to such traffic are usually entirely denied or severely restricted. Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points (i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances. Specifically, we must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S. carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers; and that the transportation is necessary to avoid undue hardship to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning emergency transportation during labor disputes, is not relevant here). (Borrowed from USDOT)
Cabotage means that Person(s) may not travel to the United States of America on the same day if the routing is from US to another country and connects to US on the same day when travelling on a non- US carrier. For example Oz606 from Saipan (US) to Incheon (KR) then OZ202 to Los Angeles (US) on the same day is not allowed, it should be OZ606 from Saipan to Incheon then a US Carrier to Los Angeles.
1) OZ606/20dec/OZ202/20dec – SPN/ICN/LAX (wrong routing)
2) OZ606/20dec/SQ202/20dec – SPN/ICN/LAX (wrong routing)
3) OZ606/20dec/UA123/20dec – SPN/ICN/LAX (correct routing)
So unless you are an airline employee and flying with on a sublo ticket, think twice before taking this routing, you woud’nt want your holidays to be disrupted……
