What does this term stand for?
Cabotage refers to the transportation of goods or passengers between two points within the same country by a carrier registered in a foreign country. Originally a maritime shipping term, cabotage now applies across all major transport modes, including aviation, road transport, and rail. Most nations heavily restrict or outright prohibit cabotage operations to protect domestic carriers, maintain national security, and ensure regulatory control over internal commerce. The term derives from the French word “caboter,” meaning to sail along the coast, reflecting its historical roots in coastal shipping trade.
