Just tweaking the fat in the schedule?
Looking back in FR24 the flight time as been ~10:30-11:15ish for a while now.

If the schedule has moved due to the 787 issues, then congestion at HKG or AKL may be less with the new time and thus able to shortened the scheduled flight time.

Still the same departure time ex-AKL, just now arriving into HKG earlier.

Remember HK doesn't have DST. Could this simply be less congestion when the plane arrives an hour earlier during NZST vs NZDT?
