How IB281 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for IB281 across the MAD and NRT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how IB281 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
