Better structural resilience than the direct Central Asian routing by breaking the journey at Istanbul. IST–NRT still uses Central Asian corridor, but the hub break gives routing flexibility.

Weakness

Limited alternative paths if the main corridor is disrupted

Watch

IST–NRT second leg traverses the Central Asian corridor — same exposure point as the direct flight, but you have a natural decision point at Istanbul to assess conditions before continuing.

Evaluated using advisory airspace exposure, corridor sensitivity, detour impact, and hub routing logic — based on EASA and national authority advisories.
