This was previously done, for different reasons, by Jet Airways back in the 1990s. Under Indian gov't regulations they could only act as an "air taxi" service and were prohibited from publishing a timetable. Their solution was to have flights labelled as "breakfast", "late breakfast", "late lunchtime", and "high tea", which people understood to mean 7am, 9:25am, 1:50pm, and 5pm departures.
