How FA806 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for FA806 across the JNB and CPT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~143 min) but landed heavily delayed (~112 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how FA806 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
