IST to COV questions

Is IST–COV running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 88/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on IST–COV?

Operators schedule morning departures around 01:55 and evening departures around 18:30 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the COV delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to COV?

Great-circle distance is 730 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 82–93 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–COV fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 68 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
