I did a test query on this flight.

https://api.aviationstack.com/v1/flights?access_key=YOURKEY&flight_date=2020-02-04&flight_number=428&dep_icao=WSSS&arr_icao=WMKP

this was returned.

The actual timings here (2020-02-04T20:38:00+00:00 and 2020-02-04T21:33:00+00:00 appears to be in local time (GMT+8), not +0.

Why am i so sure? I was one of the pilot operating this flight.
