How VA164 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for VA164 across the ZQN and SYD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~55 min) but landed a little late (~11 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how VA164 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
