Definition of Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA)
Estimated time of arrival (ETA) is the anticipated time at which a vehicle or aircraft is expected to reach its destination or a particular checkpoint based on calculations made by navigation systems. ETA is determined by several factors, including the distance between the origin and the destination, the speed of the vehicle or aircraft, and any potential delays due to weather, traffic, or other unforeseen circumstances. ETA helps pilots and other transportation professionals to plan their routes and make necessary adjustments to ensure that they arrive at their destination on time. It is an essential tool for efficient logistics and reliable transportation.
