The official minimum connecting time database is an IATA commercial product. Our value for Bombay is a curated estimate, not contractual data. The figure that counts is your airline's.
With no prediction for this specific flight, the calculation uses an average delay distribution — roughly one flight in four late, most of them barely. A flight known for being punctual, or for the opposite, will depart from this figure.
