IST to MLX questions

Is IST–MLX running on time right now?

Significant delay risk. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 46/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on IST–MLX?

Operators schedule morning departures around 06:00 and evening departures around 20:55 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the MLX delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to MLX?

Great-circle distance is 857 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 90–103 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–MLX fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 18 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
