cases of (airplane) boarding assumptions


Explanation:
I believe that is what the expression means, according to the ref. below.

4 Assumptions
We make the following assumptions about airplane boarding process in this paper.
• Passengers with physical limitations, families with infants, and passengers extremely advanced in years board the plane before other passengers for their own safety and comfort. We assume that these passengers might need the plane to be relatively empty to successfully reach their seat, perhaps with the assistance of flight attendants. The time taken for this pre-boarding is assumed to be a constant overhead that airlines cannot avoid.

e nas hipóteses de preterição de embarque
or in the event of being denied boarding


Explanation:
e.g.

OVERSALES
If a flight is oversold (more passengers hold confirmed reservations than there are seats available), no one may be denied boarding against his or her will until airline personnel first ask for volunteers who will give up their reservation willingly, in exchange for compensation of the airline’s choosing. If there are not enough volunteers, other passengers may be denied boarding involuntarily in accordance with the following boarding priority of American. In such events, American will usually deny boarding based upon check-in time, but we may also consider factors such as severe hardships, fare paid, and status within the Advantage® program. If you are denied boarding involuntarily, you are entitled to a payment of ‘‘denied boarding compensation’’ . . .

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jennifer Byers: It does seem as though there is a mistake in the original, and the word is "preterição" rather than "pretensão".
