Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
Détournement aérien
English translation:
hijacking of aircraft
French term
Détournement aérien
In a long list of what is covered by an insurance policy, (no other context in the list itself or elsewhere), I have:
Détournement aérien
Is this a diversion, a hijacking or both in your opinions?
Thanks

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Un détournement d'avion est la prise de contrôle d'un avion ou plus par une ou plusieurs personnes. Dans la plupart des cas, ces personnes sont armées et forcent le pilote à se diriger vers l'endroit désiré par les preneurs d'otage. Cet acte est souvent associé au terrorisme.

Aircraft hijacking (also known as skyjacking, plane jacking, air robbery, air piracy, or aircraft piracy, with the latter term being used within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States) is the unlawful seizure of an aircraft by an individual or a group.[1] Dating from the earliest of hijackings, most cases involve the pilot being forced to fly according to the hijackers demands. However, in rare cases, the hijackers have flown the aircraft themselves and used them in suicide attacks; most notably in the September 11 attacks, and in several cases, planes have been seized by the official pilot or co-pilot

: And so, exactly which of these terms would you use in an insurance policy?/Just thinking about using the right terminology in the right context.

aircraft/air plane/plane - just what does that change for an insurance policy or anything else? /hijacking is the term that matters most. I think most people know what that means
