How JQ790 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for JQ790 across the SYD and MCY boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: landed +13 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how JQ790 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
