Not this again... there is no such thing as a FUEL emergency. The UK CAA, some time ago, published a new definition of "no delay" in the UK meaning "expect to hold up to 20 minutes" - I guess this must be somewhat confusing for English as a second language users... Why not just come out and say aircraft must carry a minimum of 20min hold fuel over and above normal reserves?
