The FAA is moving two major flight paths in the eastern US

The Federal Aviation Administration proposes to change two jet routes and two very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) federal airways. This change supports a project to relocate a key navigation beacon in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The US air traffic system relies on a network of ground-based navigation beacons. When one of these beacons moves, the invisible highways in the sky that planes follow must also move. This is a small, routine adjustment, but it shows how deeply the physical world still shapes air travel, even in the age of GPS.
