عارض

This question was closed without grading. Reason: No acceptable answer

Arabic to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Arabic term or phrase: عارض
The sentence concerns the company's activities:

موضوع الشركة هو استثمار النقل الجوي العارض بين لبنان والخارح بواسطة طائرات صغيرة

Is this "occasional"? This may not make much business sense, although the company has other activities, so perhaps that may be correct... Thanks for your help...

Explanation:
Sorry Tamer, I refer to the same site you mention
http://www.moqatel.com/mokatel/data/behoth/ModoatAma16/Tiara...
according to which non-scheduled air transport operations are النقل الجوي غير المنتظم
while النقل العارض refers to charter flights.

neutral  Tamer Elzein (X): That's perfectly fine, Nesrin :-). While I don't entirely disagree, "charter flights" now have a specific meaning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charter_airline)... Most of them are actually scheduled :-)
