So the 1300 departures are 9:00 in duration, and the 1400 departures are 8:00 in duration (which IME is more typical for DXB-LHR).

Which all suggests one thing: a different flight path from the usual.

BA Flights to DXB and AUH are routeing over Saudia Arabia and Egypt at the moment avoiding Iran & Iraq airspace due to heightened political tensions in the Gulf.
