The news article did not state if other airlines were affected or not by this Singapore immigration quote limit. The press is asking Indonesia questions but not with Singapore, would be good to know if Singapore indeed limited the flights.

Here is the Fox News Article:
Just a thought - if the flight takes off at 23:00UTC - 06:00LT is it a Saturday flight or a Sunday flight? Could this be the real reason for the change in flight time to 2 hours earlier to arrive late Saturday before midnight UTC?
