| Sep 28, 2023 at 11:13 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | @Johnnyjanko I am not at all convinced. A just as likely explanation is that the airline isn't able to obtain an earlier landing slot in Dehli and therefore decides to fly slower and save fuel. The other airlines flying directly from Frankfurt to Dehli (Lufthansa and Air India) also have a change in schedule on the same day and Air India is flying a bit faster after the change. | |
| Sep 28, 2023 at 11:03 | comment | added | Johnnyjanko | @Tor-EinarJarnbjo How about this: Airline changed the departure time (coinciding with the DST end), probably the flight will have to take a slightly different path and that explains the additional 10 minutes. The rest is a DST-related glitch. | |
| Sep 28, 2023 at 10:59 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | Even if that coincidentally is the date of the DST change in Germany, the airline is also both changing the time of departure and the time of arrival. The difference in flight time is also not 60 minutes, as would have been expected if it was a DST related glitch, but 70 minutes. I don't know the reason for the schedule change, but this explanation does not seem reasonable. | |
