Sir,
Good forward. I have read from Quora another reason- Since departing is easier
than landing, it is safe that landing occurs in day time. On account of this
from airports departing is done in night time so that landing occurs in day
time.
However in well developed airports to world class standard, landing is done in
night also.

Respected Sir/s,
SUBJECT: ON THIS DAY….My Memories ON FACEBOOK….7 years ago
Why do internationalflights from India always depart so late at night?

These are called red-eyeflights.
Fuelsavings is one prime reason to fly long haul flights in the night.
#In the nights, flights are able to get direct routing and less waypoints.In
common man language it means they get to flyon a route that is closest, without
much turns and ups and downs, as they wouldduring the day.
#In nights, the air isdenser, allowing flying at a lesser thrust. Over a long
distance,both these points give significant fuel savings.
#Connecting flights is another reason. Passengers on mostinternational flights
will have connecting flights to other destinations withinthat country. Red-eye
flights enable them get on to those.
#Cost Saving is another reason: Airlines have to payhefty fees to airports for
the time they are on ground. So keepingaircraft in the air as much as possible
is key to operational efficiency. One can'tkeep that aircraft in the air at
night on intra-country flights as they are ofshort distance, but one can on
long haul routes.
#EDIT: An important reasonand probably the main reason. - A lot of
international airports, have nightcurfew. It means no flight can land/depart
between 10-6 in the night.This is to ensure the health of neighbourhoods
nearby. Indian airports do notfollow this. So, to comply with international
airports, we compromise with thesleep of people down here. Courtesy: QUORA
