IST to VAR questions

Is IST–VAR 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–VAR?

Operators schedule morning departures around 07:30 and evening departures around 20:20 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the VAR delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to VAR?

Great-circle distance is 231 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 46–50 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does IST–VAR fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 11 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
