How the Istanbul to Aktau route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop IST to SCO 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.

IST to SCO questions
Is IST–SCO running on time right now?
Significant delay risk. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 48/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from IST to SCO?
Great-circle distance is 1,846 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 160–188 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does IST–SCO fly?
FlyArystan runs the route with about 2 flights a week (tue, thu). 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 IST and arrival-side delay at SCO, 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.
