The read on SunExpress
What the record actually tells you about flying SunExpress
SunExpress runs about 61% on time across 26,091 flights of official all-cause history — a shaky record you'll want to plan around. On cancellations, cancellations are rare here, at roughly 0.3%.
It's not just whether a flight is late, but how late. When SunExpress runs behind, the typical delay lands around 20 minutes, and only a small slice — about 1.6% — slip two hours or more, so the worst-case tail is relatively contained.
Reliability isn't uniform across SunExpress's map. Its strongest route in the data is DLM–BHX, running around 92% on time, while BHX–AYT is among its weakest at about 28%. That gap is the whole point: judge SunExpress on the route you're actually flying, not on its overall average.
