How NZ168 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for NZ168 across the MCY and AKL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 19 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how NZ168 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
