IST to FCO questions
Is IST–FCO running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at FCO is the weaker end, route health score 93/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on IST–FCO?
Operators schedule morning departures around 07:40 and evening departures around 21:55 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the FCO delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from IST to FCO?
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 IST–FCO 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.
