 Re: difference of "due to" and "be + doing smth"
Hi lawyerquang
.
I suspect what you're referring to is probably simply the adjective due, which can mean 'scheduled or expected' and is usually connected with some kind of official arrival time:
"Their flight is due (to arrive) in less than 10 minutes." = "Their flight is scheduled to arrive in less than 10 minutes."
.
Using the present continuous to talk about the future refers to a specific plan: "I'm flying to London next Tuesday."
