Abstract: The paper explores the business potential of scheduled flights operated by Emirates between Germany and the USA. It starts with a description of the regulatory framework for fifth freedom flights before turning to the relevant operational restrictions and commercial parameters for this kind of airline network development. The economic considerations are based on the '3 Cs' of airline network management (i.e., costs, consumers, and competition). This practically-oriented approach aims to identify possible route candidates. The results indicate that the number of fifth freedom routes operated by Emirates between Germany and the USA will remain small.
