Unusual TAP Flight Duration TNG-LIS
I was looking for flights from TNG-LIS on June 3 and I noticed something a bit strange. The flight time was showing as 25 minutes.
I know Tangier and Lisbon are pretty close, but they couldn't be this close. A few calculations later, I realized the ATR 72 would have to fly at a speed of >570kts to make this flight on time
I know Morocco switches between UTC and UTC+1 quite often throughout the year. Is this problem a result of the timezone changes? Is the arrival or departure time even coded properly?

Thanks!
I thought that during Ramadan, Morocco moves from UTC+1 to UTC. The displayed flight duration seems to support this. Since June 3 is during Ramadan, could it be possible the computer system has not picked up on this?

The flight duration is 1h25m but I'm not sure about the flight schedule any more.
