Landed generally means the aircraft has touched down on the runway. Arrival information may refer to a later milestone, such as reaching the gate, depending on the flight-data source.<\/p><h2>What does \u201clanded\u201d mean?<\/h2><p>Landed usually indicates that the aircraft has completed its airborne portion and touched down. Passengers may still be on the aircraft while it taxis from the runway toward the terminal.<\/p><h2>What does \u201carrived\u201d mean?<\/h2><p>Flight-status providers do not always use identical definitions. In many contexts, an arrival milestone is associated with the aircraft reaching its destination and may reflect gate arrival rather than runway touchdown. Check the details shown by the source you are using.<\/p><h2>Why can landing time and arrival time be different?<\/h2><p>After landing, the aircraft normally leaves the runway and taxis to a gate or parking position. Airport traffic, distance to the terminal and gate availability can create a gap between touchdown and gate arrival.<\/p><h2>Which time should I use when meeting someone?<\/h2><p>If you are picking up a passenger, landing time alone does not tell you when the traveler will reach the public arrivals area. Gate arrival, deplaning, baggage collection and any required border procedures can add time.<\/p><h2>What happens to gate information after landing?<\/h2><p>The assigned arrival gate can still be updated as the aircraft moves on the ground. Check the latest flight information if you are navigating a connection or meeting an arriving traveler.<\/p><h2>What does this mean for a connecting passenger?<\/h2><p>A connection effectively depends on when you can leave the arriving aircraft and reach the next gate, not simply when the aircraft touches the runway. Recheck the onward flight status and gate as soon as practical.<\/p><h2>Why might different flight trackers show different times?<\/h2><p>Services can receive updates from different sources or label operational milestones differently. Compare the status label with the time it describes instead of assuming every displayed \u201carrival\u201d time represents the same event.<\/p><p><a class=\"wmg-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/\">Check an Arriving Flight<\/a><\/p><\/article>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-215","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/215\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wheresmygate.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
