Question

Why most of the International flights take off and land at night hours?

Answer 1

I agree with the first answer, but it sure does make it rough on one's friends/family picking up and dropping off...I do like having a full day with my loved ones, though, before departing.

Answer 2

This is for the comfort of the passenger. The flights are generally VERY long and it is much easier to adjust to a new time zone by sleeping through the time change. It also makes the flight seem a lot shorter! :)

Answer 3

Agree with the first answer, and also airports charge a take-off and landing fee, cheaper at night and early morning.

Answer 4

In day time air turbulence more than that in night, so it is generally preffered to do take off and landing during evening or night time
