That's what they're called. It's not clickbait, it's an indication of a change from a scheduled flight plan while in the air.

- kube-system 4y agoNo, they are not called “mid-air diversions”. They are simply called “diversions”.
- AceyMan 4y agoa change in the scheduled stops (intentionally) would be a reroute or flagstop; a diversion is when you aren't planning to stop somewhere else but have to, because reasons. analogies: flagstop : on the way to Walmart you decide to stop at CVS on the way for something you remembered. diversion: on the way to Walmart you start to loose bowel control and pull into the nearest Burger King to use their w/c.

- falcolas 4y agoDiversion is pilot jargon in this case. For example, ATC (air traffic control) might tell a pilot to divert to Chicago O'Hare if they can't land in Minneapolis.
