Interesting....
Having worked for XR many years ago and l do remember the waiting for our turn to go in the J31 from Delta on 21.
Then in AN on the BAe146 waiting as all the rest of the fleet wanted to leave at the same time and the un-selective push-back sequence.
Now in EK doing 425 and still waiting for departure. The other day it was 35 minutes from push-back to wheels-off from 03.
Not bad in regard to most ports they serve, but then most ports that have a taxi time in excess of 15 minutes have two usable runways that are in excess of 3000m, and a flight time much less than 8 hours and not the 10+ to get to DXB from PER.
