Several variables shape what you pay for a Istanbul–Bakhtaran charter: the distance and prevailing winds on the day, fuel costs across the regions you cross, handling and landing fees at both airports, and the specific aircraft confirmed against live availability. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.
Both cities are served by several airports, giving flexibility on slots and routing:

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Istanbul to Bakhtaran use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 55 km short after reserves on a 1,788 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. İstanbul Airport has 13,451 ft and Shahid Ashrafi Esfahani Airport 11,213 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
