How the Istanbul to Santiago de Compostela route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop IST to SCQ flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

IST to SCQ questions
Is IST–SCQ running on time right now?
High disruption likely. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 0/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from IST to SCQ?
Great-circle distance is 3,047 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 245–291 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does IST–SCQ fly?
Alba Star runs the route with about 1 flight a week (mon). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at IST and arrival-side delay at SCQ, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
