  • Departs Singapore on a more southwesterly track — routes via Sri Lanka FIR, equally advisory-clean.
  • Southern Indian peninsula crossing via Chennai FIR (VOMF) is operationally routine.
  • Arabian Sea transit and Dubai arrival from the east avoids Iranian FIR and advisory zones entirely.
  • Adds ~10–15 minutes versus direct subcontinent; used by some seasonal and charter operators.
