English term or phrase: tarmac delay
In most cases the cause of lengthy tarmac delays are outside of xxx’s reasonable control (e.g. weather events, inefficiencies of the day’s air traffic control (ATC) systems, government operating restrictions, and airport construction projects).

Γνωρίζει κανείς αν υπάρχει κάποιος αντίστοιχος όρος στα ελληνικά ή πρέπει να αποδώσω τον αγγλικό όρο περιφραστικά;

tarmac = to cause (an aircraft) to sit on a taxiway; to spend time idling on a runway, usually waiting for takeoff clearance
