IST to TIA questions
Is IST–TIA running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at IST is the weaker end, route health score 88/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on IST–TIA?
Operators schedule morning departures around 08:00 and evening departures around 18:40 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the TIA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from IST to TIA?
Great-circle distance is 754 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 83–95 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does IST–TIA fly?
Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 14 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
