Vocabulary: Delays & Disruptions
Membership Required
Flashcards on this page
This page includes a 17-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:
slot (time) — A permitted time for an aircraft to take off or land at a busy, slot-constrained airport. Airlines hold, swap and give up slots.
backlog — A queue of delayed flights (or work) that has built up and not yet been cleared.
industrial action / strike — Workers stop working in protest — airport and ATC strikes can cancel thousands of flights in a single day.
Members study all 17 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
You’ve reached the Members’ part of this briefing. The first part is free — Members read everything: every article, grammar activity, narration and dictation, plus the complete archive and the full Study zone — vocabulary decks, the Grammar Check and writing tasks.
