TIA to IST questions

Is TIA–IST running on time right now?

Some delays possible. The departure side at TIA is the weaker end, route health score 63/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

Morning or evening flight on TIA–IST?

Operators schedule morning departures around 09:35 and evening departures around 20:10 from TIA. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the IST delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from TIA to IST?

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 TIA–IST 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.
