How EK256 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for EK256 across the BCN and DXB boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: departed +21 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how EK256 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
