
Fuel Savings

Lower maintenance costs

Better dispatch capability for irregular operations
Example of preferred routing
Create New Routes to decrease flight plan
distance to/from Caribbean Destinations
(Purple is existing routing)
Opening of alternate ADS-B
Routes along congested
Eastern Seaboard
Result: Surveillance Redundancy, Continuity of
Operations, $$ Savings.
