Stop Over

Only non-stop flights are without stopover. The others, including directflight always include technical stopovers (when the stopovers is carried out for reasons other than commercial, including for refueling the craft) and / or commercial (If the carrier disembarks and embarkpassengers).
If the flight is direct (same flight number), there will be no change of company, although there may be some change of aircraft. On such occasions, the passengers may have to stay (rarely more than two hours) in the transit lounge of the airport during the stopover
