Not every flight from Delhi to Dubai takes the same path right now.
All 2 assessed routes are currently rated Flowing.
Arabian Sea Southern Route — clean airspace routing, with minimal detour impact and strong hub reliability.
Limited coverage — fewer corridor options than usual.
Contingency DEL–DXB routing south from Delhi through Gujarat FIR, across the Arabian Sea south of Pakistan, into UAE. Airspace_score 0 — fully avoids Pakistan FIR. Corridor_score 1 for the longer geometry and lower scheduled frequency on this track. Preferred when OPKR (Pakistan FIR) is advisory-restricted or closed. Adds approximately 40–50 minutes versus the standard overland routing.
Arabian Sea and Gujarat FIR transit is advisory-clean. This routing activates when Pakistan FIR is restricted. Monitor OPKR advisory status and India–Pakistan geopolitical situation.
Primary DEL–DXB routing southwest from Rajasthan FIR through Pakistan FIR and into Oman FIR before UAE. Airspace_score 1 for Pakistan FIR (OPKR) transit — the standard industry route for all major operators on this corridor. Emirates, Air India, and IndiGo all use this geometry. OPKR crossing is operationally normal under current conditions but warrants monitoring given EASA/UK CAA standing advisories.

FlightDetour evaluates route options using advisory airspace exposure, corridor sensitivity, detour impact, and hub routing logic — based on publicly available EASA and national authority advisories.
Coverage focuses on major long-haul corridors. Some routing patterns — including certain China-side connections via mainland Chinese hubs — are not yet included. If you expect an option here and don't see it, that's a coverage gap, not an assessment.
Scores compare corridor quality; they do not predict airline operations or safety outcomes. Verify with your airline and government travel advisories before booking.
