How CI3 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for CI3 across the SFO and TPE boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands ~24 min late. Based on 10 confirmed landings · 4/10 within 15 min of schedule.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how CI3 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
