How EK236 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for EK236 across the ORD and DXB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left about 9 min early but landed about 20 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how EK236 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
