MUFH ‐ Habana, Cuba
Cuba to Houston
Create bidirectional Airway between HOOCK‐MINOW‐UHA to reduce route by 80NM (when compared
to UCL UL212 LITGU UL674 RAKAR UL333 PISAD L633 HOOCK)
MKJK – Kingston, Jamaica
SKEC – Barranquilla, Colombia
SVSM – Maiquetia, Venezuela
Michael Beasley, Flight Planning, American Airlines Page 4 of 9
UCL to VUMPI (Connects with Cuba to Houston on page 3)
Create new bidirectional Airway – UCL UG442 SIA TOMEK ERIKO MAU ESKIT VUMPI (will provide a direct
routing from VUMPI in Brazil to HRV in the USA)

SVSM, Maiquetia, Venezuela
UL304/UL417 Crossover
a) Allow crossing between UL304/UL417 before/after Amazonica FIR Boundary points of
POVLA/VAGAN
b) Create additional WAYPOINTS on both Airways to allow this

TTZP, Piarco, Trinidad and Tobego
Relieve congestion at POS (Piarco) and BGI (Adams)
Discuss/determine level of congestion at both points
Seek realignment of Airways if warranted (no need to overfly the VOR’s anymore)
For example, remove POS from UG449 and new Airway ISIGI to PERGA
Realign UA555, UA632 by avoid BGI

MMFR Monterey Region (Mexico)
a) Extend UJ15E from CHINO to BZE in MHTG Central America, will save fuel LAX to Brazil etc.
b) Provide southbound route from MYDIA to MMUN, but not as far west as PISAD to accommodate
LTD Overwater capable aircraft and save 80nm.

c) CPE UJ61 CTM BZE – Make this an Airway CPE‐BZE , saves 30nm, but needs a new FIR Boundary
at MHTG

TJZS San Juan
OPAUL L461 PJM UB520 ANU – Create new Airway OPAUL – ANU with a new FIR crossing, or use OPAUL
ELOPO ANU (This is another example of avoiding VOR’s, saves 21nm)
