IATA has been working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enhance random routes in the US northeast corridor for flights westbound to the North Atlantic Organized Track System (NAT OTS). The test procedure extends to 30 September and eligible departure airports now include Atlanta (ATL), Charlotte (CLT), Orlando (MCO), Washington Dulles (IAD), Miami (MIA) & George Bush (IAH), Houston. Carriers with flights transiting thorough Boston Center and transiting to the North Atlantic structure are encouraged to participate.

IATA participated in the New York Kennedy Airport (JFK) Customer Focus meeting to discuss traffic flow and issues related to ongoing airport construction. JFK stakeholders met on 18 June to discuss status and performance metrics of current Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) 77 initiatives, and development and implementation of future initiatives. The FAA will provide operational performance related to alternative international departures offload, and expected impact to airport efficiency due to 2010 taxiway and runway rehabilitation. The operational performance has already improved by 2 minutes.
