IST to HKG questions
Is IST–HKG running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 100/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on IST–HKG?
Operators schedule morning departures around 01:30 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the HKG delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from IST to HKG?
Great-circle distance is 8,006 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 595–716 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does IST–HKG fly?
Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 13 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
