I’m surprised they didn’t slow down to conserve fuel and arrive on-time. In the USA, if your flight is more than 20 minutes early, you are usually stuck on the tarmac waiting for a gate.
80 minutes of fuel for that plane must be very expensive. Is it possibly to fly that plane, at say 200 knots ground speed, and save on fuel? Or are they stuck at their speed they filed in the flight plan, to keep traffic separation?
