How CA979 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for CA979 across the PEK and BKK boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands on time. Based on 10 confirmed landings · 9/10 within 15 min of schedule. Pushes back late but makes up time in the air.
