Via South China Sea / Bay of Bengal — clean airspace routing, with minimal detour impact and strong hub reliability.
Limited coverage — fewer corridor options than usual.
The primary ICN–BOM routing tracks southwest over the East China Sea, South China Sea, and Southeast Asian FIRs before crossing the Bay of Bengal into India. Completely avoids all advisory zones throughout. Air India, Korean Air, and Asiana all operate direct service. Airspace_score 0 on all segments. The preferred routing under all advisory conditions.
No material advisory concerns on this routing. Monitor Bay of Bengal convective NOTAMs during monsoon season. South China Sea FIR coordination is standard.
Northern ICN–BOM routing over China and Central Asian FIRs before descending into India. Geometrically shorter but carries airspace_score 1 due to Central Asian corridor congestion and Iranian FIR proximity on the final western descent into BOM. The southern routing via South China Sea and Bay of Bengal is preferred for its clean advisory profile.
Active disruptions
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.
