Turn time is the time it takes to "clean" the plane and refuel.

Withdrawn means the date that the plane will no longer be made.

You forgot the biggest time consumption. Loading and unloading of Pax. Not all planes are refueled.

Well, pax carrying planes driven by solar cells or nuclear reactors are yet to be developed :wink:

What I ment was that planes operate sectors without refueling. They can do a number of sectors without ever getting a bowser near them. It screws the enviornment, but as long as the airline saves money, who cares.

Planes can't operate more than 24 hours a day... so that is the time left on the plane.
