Why is it feminine?

Arrivées is feminine because it derives from the Old French feminine past participle of "arriver" (from Latin "ad-ripāre," meaning to come to shore), and in French, past participles used as nouns retain the grammatical gender of their original form. The feminine ending "-ée" became standardized for this noun, likely reinforced by analogy with other feminine nouns ending in "-ée" derived from past participles.
