"Round Robin"
I heard this phrase the other day...ATC was informing an approaching 737 that there was an ATR "Round Robin". What does the phase mean?

I have seen the term "round robin" applied to flight plans/aircraft which are departing from and then returning to the same airfield - ie EGLL..OCK..BIG..EGLL. These flights are usually of short duration/distance, although there are exceptions, such as the Concorde engineering test or sightseeing flights, which used to do a trip out to Biscay and back.
