MCT at CDG depends on which airline sells the tickets

It may be known to all of you, but I have just discovered that the MCT is set by the ceding airline ("la compagnie cédante); so even if the flights are the same, the MCT can be different.

Example : VN and AF.

For an arriving flight at 7:00 from HAN, VN will not sell an 8:30 connecting flight to NTE because their MCT at CDG is 2 hours.

AF on the other hand, will sell the 8:30 flight with an arriving VN metal AF coded flight at 7:00 (same flight as above).
