Istanbul to Bamako (IST-BKO): nonstop flights and award space

Turkish Airlines flies nonstop from Istanbul (IST) to Bamako (BKO) just three times a week. A long sector flown three times a week carries its premium cabin on only a few flights, so each date on the calendar is worth checking. 2LNR tracks award seats on Turkish Airlines across every IST to BKO date, so you can see whether a seat exists before you move points.

Schedule data dated .

We last checked the IST to BKO schedule against our schedule feed on September 20, 2026. A copy of this page can stay in use for a few days after it's built, and by then that check would be more than 14 days old, so we aren't publishing departure times. The frequency figures above come from that same schedule.
