The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule amending several VOR Federal Airways and a U.S. Area Navigation Route, as well as revoking one VOR airway. This change is due to the decommissioning of a navigation aid in Cincinnati, Kentucky, which is part of the FAA's plan to maintain a minimal operational network of VORs. As a result, segments of these airways have been altered or removed to ensure air traffic can still flow safely and efficiently. The amendments are part of the FAA's ongoing efforts to keep airspace management current without significant environmental impact.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule to amend several Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways—specifically V-16, V-103, V-375, and V-473—in the eastern United States. This change is due to the planned decommissioning of the Roanoke, VA, VOR/Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME). The amendments are part of efforts to maintain efficient air traffic flow and keep the National Airspace System (NAS) updated. The changes involve removing certain segments of these airways and listing any excluded airspace areas, ensuring that the airways remain operational and safe for aviation use.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) decided to withdraw a proposed rule that aimed to amend and revoke two VOR Federal Airways, V-233 and V-320, due to the planned decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant, MI VOR navigational aid. Originally published in May 2023, this proposal was rendered unnecessary because V-233 was already amended by a separate action, and the decommissioning of the Mount Pleasant VOR has been postponed to July 2026. This delay is needed to further assess and resolve navigational signal coverage issues. Therefore, this proposed rule is no longer proceeding.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule amending certain airways and routes due to the decommissioning of a navigation aid in Industry, Texas, as part of their VOR Minimum Operational Network Program. The amendments affect Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways V-68, V-212, V-222, and RNAV Route T-220, while VOR Federal Airway V-558 is revoked entirely. These changes are intended to ensure continued safety and efficiency in the management of U.S. airspace. The rule will take effect on February 20, 2025, and is considered routine with minimal economic impact.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule that changes several Jet Routes and Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airways, while also revoking a couple of VOR Federal Airways near Goshen, Indiana. These changes are necessary due to the decommissioning of part of the Goshen VOR navigational aid, a move that supports the FAA's program to maintain a minimal operational network. The amendments are part of routine updates to ensure efficient air traffic management without significant environmental or economic impacts. The new rule will become effective on June 12, 2025.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has delayed the effective date for a rule involving changes to several airways and routes, initially set to take effect on February 20, 2025. The new effective date is April 17, 2025. This delay allows time to update and inspect certain flight procedures near George Bush Intercontinental and San Antonio International Airports. The FAA decided that prior notice and public comment were unnecessary because the extension is brief and does not change the substance of the rule.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made changes to certain airways near Mankato, Kansas, due to the planned shutdown of a navigational aid. The FAA has adjusted the VOR Federal Airway V-216 and has entirely removed VOR Federal Airways V-549 and V-551. These changes are part of a broader program to update and maintain the airspace system for the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations. The FAA has determined that these adjustments will not significantly affect the environment or small businesses.
