This routing scores higher in disruption than alternatives because it passes through Iranian airspace with an active advisory. Some carriers may choose northern or southern alternatives to avoid this zone entirely, depending on their network.
Madrid to Istanbul (~4h) routes east across the Mediterranean — no advisory zone transit, clean sector.
Istanbul to Singapore (~11h) routes southeast via Turkey's southern coast and Indian subcontinent. No transit through the active Middle East advisory zone.
Turkish Airlines holds 2 daily Madrid to Istanbul departures and 2–4 daily Istanbul to Singapore services. Rebooking depth is solid.
Istanbul is ~900km from the Ukrainian conflict zone — within regional monitoring range but operationally unaffected as of last review.
Total journey approximately 14 hours including transit. This is the most direct clean-airspace option for the Madrid–Singapore corridor.

This route crosses Iranian airspace, which airlines are officially told to avoid. The warning applies at every altitude, so there is no safe height to cross at.
