Hundreds of routes will have to be changed in several different systems for our May 2018 start date.

B oth are new to the position and the past facility leaders have transferred out of the facility. This was a good meeting to talk about airway removal, CAK STAR , CLE traffic overhead , and the airspace issues because of criteria issue s between the two facilities. We also met with the new CLE airport systems general manager with the regional administrator to explain Metroplex and share the future changes for the airport under the new leadership.
