Thank you for the replies.

- Change arrival in FMS

Yes, point ULERA is already there but we need to change arrival from ILS to an RNAV as well as feed-in Vapp at the FAF. (RNAV is supposed to be a stabilized approach)

- Direct ULERA

Like all airlines we also look forward to shortcuts and to refuse one is quite difficult.(Would you expect a child to refuse a candy bar).

Solution

The problem is that direct distance between point ELELA and ULERA is less. The STAR constraints at point ELELA mentions ( -11000, 230 knots). So, if I'm allowed to cross ELELA at around 7000 ft, I can comfortably make it direct to ULERA.

However, if held above 10,000 ft till beyond ELELA and then given direct ULERA, the situation is different.
