Wow, that's considerably less than I would have guessed. Just off the cuff I'd imagine the 787 and 777 fleets are closer to 20 hours a day (avg).

EDIT: I checked the link for wide bodies and I'm not even close. I know that every leg I fly is at least 13 hours long and the jet sits on the ramp for no more than 3 hours. That number is sure to go up when the whales get parked!
