IST to CUN questions

Is IST–CUN running on time right now?

Significant delay risk. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 50/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on IST–CUN?

Operators schedule morning departures around 01:40 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the CUN delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to CUN?

Great-circle distance is 10,432 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 766–924 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–CUN fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 7 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
