How JQ246 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for JQ246 across the CHC and AKL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: landed +41 min. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how JQ246 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
