Perhaps French took it from Latin as "caboter" before arriving in Spanish as cabotage. Some theories hold that cabotage comes from the surname of the navigator Sebastián Caboto who in the 16th century skirted the east coast of North America.
In navigation, that of cabotage, is the one that is carried out from one cape to another, from one promontory to another (today between one internal port and another) without going into the sea, but making the route parallel to the coast, and therefore it is less dangerous, although in the proximities of the coasts reefs can also appear; but in the event of a shipwreck, there are much more chances of being saved as the land is much closer, and it is possible to access it, even by swimming.

Unlike international flights, domestic flights do not need to complete customs and immigration procedures: "On the international flight that my cousin made from Chile to the United States, he had to complete several immigration procedures." Sometimes domestic flights use smaller airports, and also differential planes, smaller and less spacious, since in general the flight time is short.
