| "Due to" is another way of saying that something is a consequence or result of something else. i.e. "The trip was cancelled due to the weather." - the weather was the reason the trip was cancelled. "be+ doing something" is a completely different construction, not related in meaning. |

| 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." . |
