One has to wonder whether 30 minutes final reserve and 5% contingency fuel is enough in today's busy aviation environment.

Of course the accountants love these figures, but these are really a relic of a long gone era of when flying was for a privileged happy few and each nation had one modestly sized national "flag" carrier.
