How MU589 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for MU589 across the PVG and SFO boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Usually lands ~11 min early. Based on 5 confirmed landings · 5/5 within 15 min of schedule. Pushes back late but makes up time in the air.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how MU589 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
