Which term refers to the overnight stay of an aircraft at a station?

• A. Remain Overnight (RON) - aircraft
• B. Remain Overnight (RON) - flight attendant
• C. Round Trip
• D. Taxi

Answer: (A)

In airline operations, the phrase Remain Overnight, shortened to RON, describes an aircraft staying at a station overnight so it can operate the next day’s schedule. This is exactly what the question asks for—the overnight stay of the aircraft at a station—so this term is the correct fit. The other ideas don’t describe an aircraft staying overnight: a round trip is about the itinerary of a flight, not an overnight stay; taxi refers to moving on the ground, usually before takeoff or after landing; and applying RON to a flight attendant would be talking about crew, not the aircraft itself.
