IST to EDI questions

Is IST–EDI running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 87/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on IST–EDI?

Operators schedule morning departures around 08:10 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the EDI delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to EDI?

Great-circle distance is 2,830 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 230–273 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–EDI fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 12 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
