# ##### Airway Airway routing occurs along pre-defined pathways called flight paths. Airways can be thought of as three-dimensional highways for aircraft. In most land areas of the world, aircraft are required to fly airways between the departure and destination airports. Systems such as [[VOR]], [[Non Directional Beacon|NDBs]] and other [[Navigational Aid|nav aids]] help to define and control airways. Not to be confused with [[flightpath]]. >Covered in: >Mentioned in: >References: [[WP Airway|🌍]] >Required by: > >Related to: [[Advanced Avionics Handbook_1#Entering Airways|📗]]
