Many times airlines will use Military time showing times of departure and returns. It can be a little confusing on this side of the world. But let me explain.
Military time uses a 24-hour cycle, but the hours are the same length as "standard" hours. The military time 1600, for example, is 4:00 PM (4 hours after 12
noon, or 1200.) People call it "sixteen hundred," but it's really 16
hours and 0 minutes after midnight. The minute after 1659 is 1700,
because 60 minutes make an hour just as in "standard" time.
This chart converts military time to standard time.
