AYT Antalya

How deep the AYT board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from AYT. This reads the same 182 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 59of the 182 destinations are flown by one airline
• 76destinations run less than once a day
• 42destinations have four or more departures a day
• 39%of the destinations name Sun Express, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at AYT

85 airlines appear on the AYT board and they do not hold it evenly. Sun Express is on 71 of the 182 destinations, 39 per cent of them, and on 12 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 254.4 of the 518.9 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Pegasus on 69 destinations. 36 of the 85 airlines at AYT appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at AYT: one airline on 39 per cent of the destinations and the other 61 per cent spread across 84 airlines. A cancellation inside the Sun Express network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 111 destinations Sun Express does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the AYT board is daily

Of the 182 destinations, 106 are flown at least once a day and 76 are not, 15 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the AYT board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: AYT to Tunis (TUN) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 99.9 of the 518.9 departures a day, 19.3 per cent of the whole board. The other 177 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at AYT usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of AYT where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 39 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from AYT

The desk holds the return direction for 106 of the 182 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into AYT runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Poznań (POZ) at 4.4 out a day against 0.14 back and Tirana (TIA) at 3.1 out a day against 2 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 10.3 a day back into AYT against 5.1 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at AYT

AYT keeps Europe/Istanbul time, an hour behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 08:00 at AYT, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at AYT and still make a departure the same day.

The night at AYT

16 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Düsseldorf (DUS) the door shuts at 22:00 local, so the last departure from AYT that lands inside it leaves around 19:20, on a modelled block of 3h 40m. Into Vienna (VIE) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from AYT that lands inside it leaves around 21:50, on a modelled block of 2h 40m. Into Stuttgart (STR) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from AYT that lands inside it leaves around 21:13, on a modelled block of 3h 17m. Those three departure times out of AYT are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where AYT turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Türkiye country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 32 airport pair pages that start or end at AYT, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Antalya to Istanbul (SAW), Antalya to Moscow (SVO) and Antalya to Moscow (VKO).

Two courier postings name AYT as the airport a courier here flies from: Antalya and Alanya.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with AYT already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 182 destinations above.
