One small snag is engine warm-up times. Five minutes in many cases - and other types need a minumum time of the ground for automatic fuel switching and testing sequences. The crew are going to have to get the timing right at busy airports and there's going to be no possibility of accepting an earlier slot. This will lead to delays.
