What does "πότε έχετε το αεροπλάνο" mean? I was listening to an audio file and someone mentioned "πότε έχετε το αεροπλάνο". My understanding is that it means "When is your airplane(when does the plane take off)?" Why is the word έχετε used here? and how do you answer the question?

The correct phrase is <<Πότε έρχεται το αεροπλάνο>> and it means ''when the airplane is going to land?''But in Greece we don't say it.We use to say <<Πότε θα προσγειωθεί το αεροπλάνο>>.

Your understanding of the sentence is correct. It means "When is your airplane(when does the plane take off)?". It's uncommon to use 'έχετε' as a replacement for 'είναι', but you may hear it sometimes. So, the meaning of 'έχω' here does not refer to possessing something, nor when one has to do something. We of course cannot 'have' the plane, especially when "πότε" is used. Έχω can also be used when making plans. For example: -Πότε έχετε το γάμο σας; (When is your wedding?) -Έχουμε το γάμο μας τον Μάρτιο -Τι έχετε να κάνετε απόψε; (What plans do you have for tonight?) -Απόψε έχουμε να πάμε σε εστιατόριο. Therefore -Πότε έχετε το αεροπλάνο σας. (When is your plane?) -Έχουμε το αεροπλάνο μας σε δύο ώρες. can be used in the same sense as -Πότε έχετε το πάρτυ σας; -Έχουμε το πάρτυ μας την Παρασκευή το βράδυ.

No you can say that.You can start your sentence with "Αύριο θα πετάξω με το αεροπλάνο " which means i am going to ddepart tomorrow by plain "
