How JQ242 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for JQ242 across the CHC and AKL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~7 min) but landed about 9 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how JQ242 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
