Not every flight from Dubai to Delhi 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 DXB–DEL routing south over the Arabian Sea and across Gujarat before reaching Delhi. Airspace_score 0 — fully avoids Pakistan FIR by routing south of Karachi and entering India via Gujarat FIR. Corridor_score 1 as this track is longer and less frequency-rich. Used when Pakistan FIR advisories are elevated or OPKR access is restricted. Adds approximately 40–50 minutes versus the overland routing.
Arabian Sea and Gujarat FIR transit is fully advisory-clean. This routing activates when OPKR is closed or advisory-restricted. Monitor India–Pakistan tensions and NOTAM issuance.
Primary DXB–DEL routing tracks northeast over Oman FIR, through Pakistan FIR, and into Rajasthan FIR before Delhi. Airspace_score 1 for Pakistan FIR (OPKR) transit. Despite the advisory flag, this is the standard industry routing used by Emirates, Air India, and IndiGo for DXB–DEL. The OPKR crossing is narrow on this geometry and remains commercially operational — monitor for any advisory escalation.

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.
