Waiting for Godot

I noticed that the business case put for use for corporate aviation vs scheduled airline in the report link Adam posted used a time of 5 minutes from checkin to departure! This is a bit difficult to believe, but realistically how much time do you spend waiting around for a departure on average ? A difficult question to answer I know, but do you feel the time saving benefits often cited are being realised ?

Depending on the delays with airport security, this is very possible. In many cases we have the owners arriving five minutes before departure and the engines are running as they board. This is a huge advantage and as long as we can maintain the hassel free aspect of travel, our industry will be attractive for the rich for many years to come.
