Bilateral Air Service Agreements (BASAs) are international agreements that allow commercial air transport services between signatory countries. These agreements are the foundation of international civil aviation, establishing the rules under which airlines operate their services. They typically cover aspects such as the capacity of services that airlines can offer, the destinations they can serve, the tariffs they can charge, and the standards they must meet in terms of safety and security. BASAs also often include 'fifth freedom rights', which allow an airline to carry passengers from its home country to a second country, and from that country to a third country. These agreements are negotiated between governments and are often complex, reflecting the strategic importance of air transport for economic and social development. They can also be controversial, as they can impact competition in the airline industry and the balance of benefits between countries.
