"Point of no return" is a point during a long over water flight at which an aircraft does not have sufficient fuel to return to it's point of origin From that point on it must continue it's progress toward it's original destination OR divert to a closer airport on the far side of the body of water it is transiting. It is a concern for both civilian and all but the longest range military aircraft.

What is the meaning of point of no return?

It means that it is too late to change your mind about doing something. So if you were in an aircraft with enough fuel to travel one hundred miles, then the point of no return would be at mile 50 because after that point, you would not have enough fuel to make it back to your starting point.
