Home · Private Jet Charter · Istanbul · Bodrum
Istanbul to Bodrum is a short private hop of just 246 nautical miles — about 1 h 10 min in the air. A turboprop or light jet is the value choice and same-day departures are routine. Summer slots into Bodrum sell out fast in peak weeks — an early booking or an empty leg is the smart play. Istanbul is the bridge between Europe and Asia; Bodrum is Turkey's chic Aegean resort town. TriStar keeps aircraft positioned across Europe and quotes a fixed all-in price before you commit.

Aircraft & airports
This leg is 246 nm. Two things decide what we can dispatch: the aircraft's range, and the runway available at each end.

| Turboprop King Air / PC-12 | 3,500 ft | ✓ 1,300 nm | ✓ | ✓ | Yes |

The shorter of the two fields is Milas Bodrum International Airport at 9,843 ft, so it sets the ceiling for this route. Bodrum has no alternative jet field within reach, so this limit is firm.
