Is this sentence correct:
1-Planes leaving for Paris at five o'clock will be delayed.
It seems illogical to me since it is saying planes that will leave at five won't leave at five.

I think it is illogical also. Instead, I would say:
  • Planes scheduled to leave for Paris at five o'clock will be delayed.

What do you think?
