Airborne Delay refers to the amount of delay to be encountered in airborne holding. Delays on departure and arrival of aircraft taxiing are very common. This is known as ground delay. Aircrafts which are already airborne equally experience delays. This is what is termed as an airborne delay.
Aircrafts are held up in the air for specific periods of time due to several conditions causing the delay.
These airborne delays could be termed as low if they last for a period of 15 minutes or less, moderate for a period of 16-45 minutes, significant or Excessive if the delay occurs within a time frame for as long as 45 minutes or more.
