A delay is deemed to have occurred at the originating or en route station if the Contractor’s aircraft departs the blocks more than 20 minutes (120 minutes when the flight was scheduled with less than 48 hour notice) after the scheduled departure time, except in those instances when the aircraft arrives at the next scheduled destination on time. Delays at originating and en route stations caused by factors beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the Contractor shall be considered as Contractor uncontrollable; a delay for any other reason shall be considered Contractor-controllable. Immediately following a delay an Aircraft Unavailability Record (Attachment 2) will be completed, and submitted to the CO within 24 hours.

1.4.1. Flight delays/diversions caused by such events as maintenance (planned or un-planned), equipment failure, and crew problems are considered Contractor controllable delays and shall be at the Contractor’s expense.
