HKG-CCU-HKG schedule weirdness
According to KA's press release, the schedule for flights starting 11/2012 is:

HKG-CCU 2050-2325
CCU-HKG 0010-0600

The same schedule is shown on third party booking sites and can be booked through 3/2013, so it is official..

But this means 5:05 hrs for HKG-CCU, and only 3:20 hrs for CCU-HKG. For comparison, DAC (nearby) is ~4 hrs each way.

Did they miscalculate because they didn't realize India has a half-hour time zone? And if so, how will they fix it? The 0010 departure from CCU means a 30 min change will change not merely the time but also the date!
