  • More southerly track over the Indian peninsula than the primary routing — equally advisory-clean.
  • Sri Lanka FIR (VCCC) and southern Indian FIR transit is operationally standard.
  • Bay of Bengal crossing into Myanmar and Thailand FIRs is advisory-clean throughout.
  • Adds ~10–15 minutes versus direct subcontinent routing; used by some seasonal and charter filings.
