Fifth Freedom?

[trooper]

Was idly looking at getting back from PER and was surprised to see all sorts of Fifth Freedom looking flights pop up. PER-AKL-SYD/BNE etc on NZ. And apparently PER-SIN-BNE on SQ, and PER-MNL-BNE on PR (plus others) Is that for real or, as i suspect, is Skyscanner missing something?

“Hacker” fares? Where you click through and it actually is a self connect on two completely separate tickets? SQ and PR can’t sell flights on the one ticket between two Australian cities. NZ can though IIRC, although they don’t.

BTW, these aren’t fifth freedoms (which is selling tickets between two countries that aren’t the home country of the airline, such as TK between SIN and MEL). IIRC it would be considered cabotage.
