Alternative KUL–ICN routing that takes a slightly more easterly track through Philippine FIR airspace before continuing northeast to Korea. Operationally equivalent to the direct South China Sea routing in advisory-zone clearance — airspace_score 0 on both. This FIR path is used by some seasonal filings from Malaysia Airlines and Philippine Airlines. Adds roughly 10 minutes versus the primary routing.
Philippines FIR (RPHI) is operationally clean. Monitor Luzon FIR convective NOTAMs during typhoon season. South China Sea east of the Philippines is advisory-clean.
Evaluated using advisory airspace exposure, corridor sensitivity, detour impact, and hub routing logic — based on EASA and national authority advisories.
