How EK18 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for EK18 across the MAN and DXB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~71 min) but landed noticeably late (~45 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how EK18 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
