avgang

In transport contexts it denotes the scheduled departure of a vehicle from a terminal, airport, port, or station. The term appears in timetables, on information boards, and in announcements; common compounds include flyavgang (flight departure), avgangstid (departure time), and avgangshall (departure hall).
