Cabotage trade
Cabotage trade is a political term describing the "coastwise trade of a nation to vessels flying its national flag". Usually, industrial countries have special laws pertaining to trade and travel of goods and persons in their own waters when the ship carrying them is registered domestically. These laws, commonly called "cabotage laws (acts)", give concessions to local vessels by restricting port and waterway usage by vessels with foreign registrations "to promote the development of indigenous tonnage. Vessels are a Post-rock band from Leeds, UK. Vessels were born from the ashes of A Day Left in September 2005 A waterway is any navigable Body of water.

Each country has its own laws and regulations regarding cabotage trade.

Australia and Chile[4] allow passenger airlines owned by foreign entities to operate domestic flights. Until 1991, Lufthansa was prohibited from flying into West Berlin. Pan Am, British Airways, and Air France operated routes between the Federal Republic of Germany and West Berlin. For a short time in the late 1980s, TWA also flew between then-West Germany and West Berlin. During this time, Pan Am flew to Tegel, in Berlin, from Munich-Riem Airport (now closed) and Frankfurt. The Munich-Riem Airport was the main airport of Munich until it was closed in 1992 Air France flew from Düsseldorf. British Airways flew from Munster/Osnabrück, Hannover, and some other cities.
