the AIC states 30mins holding should be carried into the UAE, not 20 mins.

fly to an alternate aerodrome, carry out the subsequent .... landing......and .... hold for 30 minutes delay.
ex-A380, if your post was a direct quote then it's no wonder some people are confused. The 30 min Final Reserve is holding fuel insted of a landing reserve??? Interesting concept - touching down with empty tanks.

The fuel policy is actually straightforward. It's a little disturbing that so many people don't seem to understand it.

Good to see that finally "No Holding" in the UK actually does mean no holding ( and not up to 20 min )
Only the English could come up with something like that!
