FCO to IST questions
Is FCO–IST running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at FCO is the weaker end, route health score 83/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on FCO–IST?
Operators schedule morning departures around 07:05 and evening departures around 20:05 from FCO. 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 FCO to IST?
Great-circle distance is 1,374 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 127–148 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does FCO–IST fly?
Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 28 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
