 '''A ghost plane''' (a term sometimes used interchangeably with '''ghost flight''') may refer to:
 * [[Rendition aircraft]], an aircraft used by national governments to move prisoners internationally
-* An empty or near-empty flight carried out to preserve a [[landing slot]]
+* [[Ghost flight (commercial aviation)]], an empty or near-empty flight carried out to preserve a [[landing slot]]
-* Regarding [[air crash]], a "ghost plane" or "ghost flight" occurs when the plane, already in the air, suffers some type of accident that has incapacitated the crew and passengers due to [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]] (lack of oxygen), but the aircraft continues to fly thanks to the autopilot until it runs out of fuel and ends up crashing, after getting out of its flight path. These types of accidents are usually caused by [[Uncontrolled_decompression#Gradual_decompression|slow uncontrolled decompression]], which affects [[cabin pressurization]]. There have been no survivors in this kind of accident and it is very possible that even landing the plane intact, the damage due to lack of oxygen would be irreparable for those on board. Examples include:
