Flight Route
A "Flight Route" refers to the specific path that an aircraft takes from its departure point to its destination. This route is determined by various factors, including air traffic control regulations, weather conditions, and the geography of the area. Flight routes can vary in length and complexity, depending on the starting and ending locations.
Airlines use established flight routes to optimize fuel efficiency and travel time. These routes are often mapped out in advance and can include waypoints, which are predetermined points in the sky that help pilots navigate. Air Traffic Control plays a crucial role in managing these routes to ensure safety and efficiency in the skies.
