Well, each flight has a single start- and end-date.

I strongly believe we should not expand an event to have more than just a 
single start- and end-date, which may recur regularly.  Metadata 
(creation-time, modification-time, etc.) is in a different realm (but items 
existing only once in a Kolab-object as well).
Multiple, arbitrary time-ranges must be modelled with independent events, 
IMO, and I think that is more or less the "natural" way of modelling this.
