How EK720 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for EK720 across the NBO and DXB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands ~8 min early. Based on 12 confirmed landings · 8/12 within 15 min of schedule. Pushes back late but makes up time in the air.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how EK720 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
