betweenlandingen

Betweenlandingen is a term used in aviation to describe a stopover during a flight, where passengers may or may not disembark the aircraft. This is distinct from a direct flight or a flight with a technical stop for refueling. In a betweenlanding, passengers typically remain on the aircraft while it is on the ground at an intermediate airport. This can sometimes be for the purpose of picking up or dropping off a small number of passengers, or for administrative reasons. The term can also refer to a flight that is scheduled to stop at a certain airport for a short period, but where passengers are not permitted to leave the plane. These stops are generally brief, allowing for quick operational tasks. The duration and purpose of a betweenlanding can vary greatly depending on the airline and the specific route. While the aircraft is stationary, flight attendants may use the time to prepare the cabin for the next leg of the journey. Passengers are usually instructed to remain seated with their seatbelts fastened during these brief interruptions. The concept is a way for airlines to manage operational efficiency on certain routes.
