How KL612 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for KL612 across the ORD and AMS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~8 min) but landed about 34 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how KL612 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
