Headline numbers
Turkish Airlines (TK / THY) operates the largest international network on Earth. Hub-and-spoke wave banks at IST mean OTP varies sharply by time of day.
- Arrival within 15 min (A14): ~78%
- Cancellation rate: ~0.7%
- Best performance window: mid-morning departures
- Worst performance window: late evening (cumulative day-of-ops slip)
Why TK's evening flights slip
The IST wave-bank model accumulates delay through the day. By the late evening departure bank, knock-on delays compound — even small inbound delays cascade across the network.
