Present Simple: for a schedule
When an event is on a schedule or timetable (for example, the take-off time for a plane), we often use the present simple to express the future.
We usually also use a future word (expressed or understood) like "tomorrow","at 6.30pm", "next week".
Only a few verbs are used in this way, for example:
be, open, close, begin, start, end, finish, arrive, come, leave, return
