How the Istanbul to Kabul route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop SAW to KBL 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.

SAW to KBL questions
Is SAW–KBL running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at SAW is the weaker end, route health score 83/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from SAW to KBL?
Great-circle distance is 3,547 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 280–334 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does SAW–KBL fly?
Kam Air runs the route with about 5 flights a week (sun, mon, wed, fri, sat). 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 SAW and arrival-side delay at KBL, 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.
