French term or phrase: escale
Chapter title: "Sûreté aux escales"
En région, la XXX Nord-Est a instruit les programmes de sûreté des compagnies Air France, Régional, British Airways
et EasyJet et de leurs sous-traitants pour les **escales** de Strasbourg et Bâle-Mulhouse. L’instruction de ces
programmes réalisée à l’aide d’outils normalisés a consisté à examiner les procédures de sûreté mises en oeuvre
sur ces escales. Cette étude a concerné tant le référentiel documentaire de la compagnie que l’application des
mesures décrites sur le terrain


Could someone explain the difference in English between "station" and "stop over", there must be a subtle difference which I'm not grasping.

Thanks

agree  chris collister: Also "port of call" for shipping. "escale technique" is a refuelling stop

  -> thanks, Etienne
disagree  Emmanuelle Debon: I don't think the "escales" mentioned in the text are stopovers. They are not meant here as intermediate stops in an flight, but as line stations as such, regardless of whether there's an intermediate stop or not.

disagree  Philippe Lascourrèges: d As Emmanuelle pointed, "stop over " is a 'land and go' with an optionnal refueling and without cattering... You have the controls...
