How MU500 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for MU500 across the PVG and TPE boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~72 min) but landed about 7 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how MU500 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
