How CZ617 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for CZ617 across the CAN and CHC boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left a little late (~9 min) but landed about 38 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how CZ617 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
