AST to TRT Converter

Converting Atlantic Standard Time to Turkey Time

Atlantic Standard Time (AST) and Turkey Time (TRT) are separated by a 7 hours time difference. TRT is 7 hours ahead of AST. AST is UTC-4, used in Canada, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, while TRT is UTC+3, used in Turkey.

When converting from AST to TRT, the key reference points to remember are: 9:00 AM AST equals 4:00 PM TRT, 12:00 PM noon AST equals 7:00 PM TRT, and 5:00 PM AST equals 12:00 AM TRT. The conversion table above shows every hour of the day mapped between these two time zones.

Scheduling Across AST and TRT

For professionals scheduling meetings between AST and TRT, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 7 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited. Use the highlighted working hours in the conversion table above to quickly identify suitable meeting times.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations

AST observes Daylight Saving Time, switching to ADT (UTC-3) during summer months. TRT does not observe DST, staying at UTC+3 year-round. During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
