During periods of convective activity or other significant system constraints, the NSST will implement procedures designed to optimize the use of the available airspace. Air traffic facilities will be called upon to favor and accept traffic that is not normally routed through their area. Air traffic facilities will additionally be expected to reroute aircraft within their area of jurisdiction, whether airborne or on the ground. All ATC facilities and system users are expected to participate in and cooperate with the Operations Plan to minimize system delays and balance traffic flows.
