Definition:
Abbreviated form of Flight Interruption Manifest.
FIMs are flight coupons that are given to passengers when some change in their flight itineraries has occurred at the airport.
For example, if a passenger volunteers to take a later flight in an oversold flight situation and the new flights involve a different connection city, a FIM (which acts as a ticket) will be issued so that the passenger has a ticket to fly on the new flights.
