How VY8987 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for VY8987 across the BRU and BCN boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~11 min) but landed about 17 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how VY8987 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
