Morphology
The meaning 'a flight between countries' is directly and transparently derivable from 'international' (involving more than one country) + 'flight' (an aircraft journey). This is a regular noun-noun composition common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
International flight comes from the simple idea of a flight that goes between countries: international means 'between countries' and flight is a trip by airplane. So, it means 'a flight from one country to another'.
