Mango Airways has twelve scheduled flight per day from Cape Town to Durban. As part of their process improvement programme they have decided to conduct an investigation into the turnaround time at Cape Town airport. The turnaround time specified is ±15 minutes. The data recorded below was obtained during a typical 15 day period. The turnaround time is assumed to be normally distributed.
