Which one is considered the departure time of a commercial flight? I was wondering, the publicly announced departure time of a commercial flight, is it the ETOT (estimated takeoff time) or is it the EOBT (estimated off-block time)? Or maybe some other time?
The scheduled time is the EOBT. Flights that depart within 15 minutes of it are considered on-time.
Standard taxi times for each airport are included in the scheduled flight time.
