Reply to comment by [deleted] in eli5 Are GMT and UTC timezones somehow different? If so, how? by CrispyDairy

I see! Thanks a lot, I've just been really confused when I've seen them used in different places.

Maybe nice to know, UTC is used in aviation worldwide, the aircraft and air traffic control systems as well as schedules, weather reports, etc. all work with UTC, so there cannot be any confusion if flights cross time zones. You never notice because on the ticket you obviously have local times, but behind the scenes it's all UTC, everywhere.
