Well the departure time may have to be fixed for some reasons (for example departure time before 12nn, CX can save on lunch allowance for crew).

For the arrival time maybe that was the only time CAD/AAHK could give them? They can just 'arrive early' anyway.

I have no idea but maybe those familiar with ops like our former ambassador can clarify
