I recall dual standards in mid-20th-Century USA. Town Hall clock towers showed DST if that was the local convention; the railroad clock tower showed Standard Time by which federal law required railroads to operate. Airlines pragmatically published passenger-facing schedules according to local convention.
Indeed that seems to be how (Lebanese) Middle East Airlines and Egypt Air into Beirut are operating: flying on the existing schedule and telling people to turn up an hour early (always good practice everywhere!)
