How TK6 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for TK6 across the ORD and IST boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~31 min) but landed about 30 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how TK6 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
