Exceptional clearances to depart after 23h are only given when the delay is caused by weather disruptions.
I had not realised they were that inflexible at FRA, at ZRH they also have the cufew but on my recent flight they got an exemption to 23.30 but still it was not enough & the flight was cancelled
