Also I doubt the evening flight lands at 2045 and then leaves again at 2115. 30 minutes is not possible for a 787 on an international flight with customs, cleaning, changing galley, crew etc.
It's one plane for both BKK and SGN.
The morning arrivals land around 7am from the US. HKG-BKK leaves at 9am arrives 1050am. BKK-HKG leaves at 440pm arrives 845pm. The late HKG-US departures leave around 11pm.
The evening arrivals land in HKG around 7pm. HKG-SGN leaves at 915pm arrives 1055pm. SGN-HKG leaves at 6am arrives 935am. The morning HKG-US departures leave around 1130am.
1 plane-2 destinations. Of course the plane will get rotated thru back to the states, but they are only using 1 plane to service both flights by doing one during the day and one at night.
