How HX259 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for HX259 across the SHA and HKG boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~50 min) but landed a little late (~17 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how HX259 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
