Refueling on direct flight ?
It's seemingly a marketing tactic (stupid one IMHO) . But atleast they try

Probably don't get off the plane so it doesn't have the change plane issue that people normally have with stopovers. As a side note it was cancelled...

Isn't that what direct means? That you don't change planes? Non-stop is something else.

Direct means same plane, same flight number, even if you get off the plane. For example I did OSL-TOS-LYR as a direct flight, but we all had to deplane.

Are you sure OSL-TOS-LYR is considered a direct flight and not a flight with a technical stop?

My point was that they're absolutely correct to call it direct, it's not a marketing gimmick. At least based on my limited knowledge of these things.

If I understood correctly, the Uman flight was cancelled cuz the landing permit was pulled, whereas this flight was cancelled because the carrier was afraid the renter will pull out on him.

He's probably Shomer Shabbos in which case he's probably not posting from Uman now.
