How 5Z866 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for 5Z866 across the JNB and CPT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left noticeably late (~21 min) but landed a little late (~8 min). Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how 5Z866 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
