High disruption likely. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 0/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on IST–ABJ?

Operators schedule evening departures around 17:25 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the ABJ delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to ABJ?

Great-circle distance is 5,152 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 394–472 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–ABJ fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 6 flights a week (sun, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
