IST to East Asia flights being consistently late
Before COVID, have noticed that TK70 IST to HKG were late on occasions, where a 0200 departure inevitably became a 0600 or 0700 departure as somehow with aircraft rotations they had to wait for one flight from East Asia to land first before turning it around (I have been on such a flight myself). These days, notice that more than half of TK70 are like this, and this is happening to other flights to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Seoul and etc. as well, though not as frequently as TK70. Any insights ?
