How WK87 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WK87 across the CPT and ZRH boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~24 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WK87 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
