Flight paths for planes are updated at airports across the US

The US aviation agency is changing the specific flight paths and takeoff rules at various airports. These updates happen because of new navigation technology, new obstacles, or changes in air traffic.

Every time a new building goes up near an airport, or a new radio tower is installed, the flight paths for planes have to change. These small, constant adjustments keep air travel safe. They also dictate how much airspace is available for new construction or development around airports.
