delay in arrival definition
delay in arrival means the difference between the arrival time for the flight indicated on the passenger’s ticket and the time at which the flight actually arrives. A flight where the aircraft took off but was subsequently forced to return to the airport of departure and took off again at a later time is considered to be a subject to a delay in arrival. Equally, a flight which is deviated but ultimately reaches its final destination or an airport in the neighbourhood of the final destination is considered to be subject to a delayin arrival; [Am. 51]
