North Atlantic route

The North Atlantic route is a major flight path connecting North America and Europe across the Atlantic Ocean. It is commonly used by commercial airlines because it provides a relatively direct and efficient way to travel between the continents, often running along a northwest-southeast trajectory. The route typically passes over the North Atlantic Ocean, with aircraft crossing areas like the North Atlantic Ocean’s air traffic corridors, including oceanic air traffic control centers. This route is chosen for safety, efficiency, and weather considerations, ensuring timely and economical flights between major cities like New York and London.
