How NZ224 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for NZ224 across the SYD and CHC boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~90 min) but landed about 9 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how NZ224 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
