Even if the plane can fly faster that doesn't always mean that it can land earlier at the destination. The calculations which go in to sequencing the planes in and out of airports may dictate that, even if the plane showed up 15 minutes early, that it would wait for 15 minutes to land so that it keeps its place in line.
