Best for

Highest frequency option. DEL–IST routes via Iran FIR (level-1); IST–CDG is clean. Turkish Airlines' 4 daily DEL–IST departures give the best same-day rebooking options.

Weakness

Route passes near an advisory zone (not through it)

Watch

DEL–IST first leg uses Iran/Afghanistan FIR — same level-1 advisory as the direct option. Istanbul is within monitoring range of regional tensions.

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