Examples

Core meaning

“Everyone rushed back to the gate for the rescheduled flight.”

In context

  • delayed Narrower Term

    A delayed flight has been moved to a later time, so it is one kind of rescheduled flight.

  • cancelled Contrast

    This status contrasts with a flight that is not operating rather than operating at a different time.
