  • Routes further south over the Indian peninsula versus the direct subcontinent path — equivalent advisory clearance.
  • Sri Lanka FIR (VCCC) transit is operationally clean and well-coordinated.
  • Bay of Bengal crossing into Singapore FIR follows a slightly more southerly track — both are advisory-clean.
  • Adds ~10–15 minutes versus direct subcontinent routing; used by some seasonal and charter filings.
