Via Central Asia Northern Route
Flowing · 76
Near a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Minimal extra time

The top option stays clear of all warning areas.

Northern ICN–BOM routing over China and Central Asian airspace before descending into India. Geometrically shorter but carries due to Central Asian corridor congestion and Iran airspace 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.

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.
