Multi-Flight Common Routes

Flights often experience large delays when they are routed around weather. Multi-flight common routes advisories provide delay recovery by suggesting time-saving re-routes for groups of flights whose current weather-avoidance routes have become outdated because the weather has dissipated and/or moved away. The multi-flight common routes tool provides time-saving route change advisories taking into account flight plans, wind fields, and the spatio-temporal evolution of predicted convective weather. A graphical user interface enables these advisories to be easily modified by a traffic manager for possible operational implementation.
