Top option: pressure score 77 vs 53 for direct/Gulf options. Same structural argument as all European→India via Istanbul pairs.

AMS–IST avoids advisory exposure. IST–BOM routes south via Iran with only peripheral level-1 exposure.
Pressure score advantage of 24 points (77 vs 53) is the core reason to prefer Istanbul over direct.
Hub dependency introduces missed-connection risk, offset by Turkish Airlines' reliable hub operations.
