Are these cast to ::date cast is really needed (Alternately, do you have an 
index on column::date ?)
|WHERE outtime::date>='2017-01-01'
|ON outtime::date BETWEEN oag_schedules.startdate
|AND outtime::date BETWEEN oag_batches.eff_from

The problem is clearly here:

 Merge Join (cost=30,604.12..31,301.12 ROWS=1 width=76) (actual 
time=1,153.883..9,812.434 ROWS=3,420,235 loops=1)
    Merge Cond: ((((oag_schedules.flightnum)::text) = 
(legdetail.flightnum)::text) AND ((oag_schedules.origin)::text = 
(legdetail.legfrom)::text))
    Join Filter: (((legdetail.outtime)::date >= oag_schedules.startdate) AND 
((legdetail.outtime)::date <= COALESCE(oag_schedules.enddate, 
'infinity'::date)) AND (date_part('isodow'::text, 
((legdetail.outtime)::date)::timestamp without time zone) = ANY 
((oag_schedules.frequency)::double precision[])))
    ROWS REMOVED BY JOIN FILTER: 6822878

Can you send "explain" (not explain analyze) for the production server?

And \d for those tables.

And/or EXPLAIN ANALYZE for a query with shorter date range on production (to
confirm it has a similar problem in rowcount estimation).

You can try munging the query to move/change the "Join Filter" components of
the query to see which one is contributing most to the rowcount estimate being
off by a factor of 3e6.
