How AA87 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA87 across the LHR and ORD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands on time. Based on 5 confirmed landings · 3/5 within 15 min of schedule. Pushes back late but makes up time in the air.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA87 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
