Kabotage one calls a furnishing of transportation services within a country by a foreign transport enterprise (and/or the right to do this). The term comes originally from the navigation, from the French more caboter (at the coast along, "from cape to cape" drive), in the meantime however both for air, land and maritime traffic and for person and goods transportation equally is used.
In the course of protectionist measures Kabotage is frequently forbidden. Thus for instance the convention of Chicago grants the right to its signatory states from the year 1944 to forbid Kabotage in the air traffic.
Also within the European union the Kabotage is partly reduced, in order to protect national enterprises, with the liberalisation was however already begun. In the range of the rail traffic Kabotage is to be permitted starting from 2007.
