A contingency Dubai to Delhi route south over the Arabian Sea and across Gujarat before reaching Delhi.

Overland via Pakistan airspace
Flowing · 86
Near a warning area · Strong reroute options · Minimal extra time

The top option stays clear of all warning areas.

Primary DXB–DEL routing tracks northeast over Oman airspace, through Pakistan airspace, and into Rajasthan airspace before Delhi. for Pakistan airspace transit. Despite the advisory flag, this is the standard industry routing used by Emirates, Air India, and IndiGo for DXB–DEL. The crossing is narrow on this geometry and remains commercially operational — monitor for any advisory escalation.

The catch

Goes close to a warning area but does not cross it

How we score routes

We score each route based on whether it flies near or through warning areas, how much longer it is, and how many reroute options exist — based on official flight warnings.

Some routes aren't covered yet — if yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
