This routing encounters an active airspace advisory in the UAE region (severity 2/3). Alternative routings further north or via different hubs may avoid this warning area entirely, depending on current disruption status.

  • More southerly westbound track over the Bay of Bengal than the primary routing — equally advisory-clean.
  • Southern Indian peninsula crossing via Sri Lanka FIR is operationally standard.
  • Arabian Sea approach into Dubai from the southeast avoids Iranian FIR and all advisory zones.
  • Adds ~10–15 minutes versus direct subcontinent; used by some seasonal and charter operators.
Airspace Some

This route passes through the airspace over the United Arab Emirates, which airlines are officially told to avoid at every altitude until at least 31 August 2026. The airspace is open and flights are running normally — the warning is about the advice, not about delays.
