About this data

The additional taxi-out time is a proxy for the average departure runway queuing time on the outbound traffic flow during congestion periods at airports.

It is the difference between the actual taxi-out time of a flight and a statistically determined unimpeded taxi-out time based on taxi-out times in periods of low traffic demand.

When monitoring taxi-out performance at airports, it is important to note that the goal is not to reduce taxi time to the unimpeded reference time - as this could negatively impact on runway throughput - but rather to reduce additional taxi-out time and associated fuel burn to the necessary minimum.
