In 1996, Professor Henri A. Wassenbergh published an article in Air & Space Law titled 'The "Sixth" Freedom Revisited', building on his earlier work done on the subject as early as 1957. More than fifty years later this topic is still current. As international transit passengers become a source for more airports worldwide to tap into for income for their respective economies, it is worth looking at the prospects for this freedom of the air and the potential prospect of India jumping on the bandwagon as new kid on the block. Giving the personal role Professor Wassenbergh fulfilled in building up this part of KLM's business it seems an apt way to commemorate his contribution.
