Is there something closed over central/southern Ohio? There are no aircraft above 20,000 feet in that area. For example: NK1251, MSY to EWR, flew due north to Chicago and then due East to Newark.

Jump to postThere is some talk that the next Atlas route will be SEA-ABE starting in late March. I think you will find that that route will be operated by ATI as of 4/1.
