Don't know what the situation is like these days but there was a time that a good number of airports were officially closed at night but efftively ran an H24operation.....something to do with being able to charge out of hours surcharges (and, to be more serious, maybe only manning up ATC positions and RFFS when an aircraft was actually using the place). Not nearly so common these days but it might still happen.
