It’s amazing mow much effort goes into producing a flight route, and it previously was all done by hand. The efficiency of a flight route is in part determined by the # of waypoints on the route. Think back to calculus, the more points in a polygon the more accurately it represented a curve. The # of waypoints correlates to the work it takes to produce the route; so the more efficient a route is the more expensive it is. Unless you build a software system to do all the work for you. Therefore by using Naverus’s software to produce flight routes, the flight are more efficient which can save the airlines a TON of money of fuel. I know this because at a previous employer Naverus was a big client of ours. I always believed in the idea and am really glad to see them get bought. Great job guys!
