Simple question - and forgive me, I'm not an expert on all things FRA / LH related.. Not worth starting a new thread, and as there are connection issues for many passengers, this seems the most logical place:

Why is LH4985 the early morning flight from DUB to FRA so consistantly late? Take a look at the stats

It cannot be due to late arrival of aircraft as the plane arrives in Dublin the night before. So either there are problems getting out of Dublin, or stacking above Frankfurt, or both?

I'm not talking a few minutes late here, delays of one hour or more are not uncommon.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Many thanks
