In anticipation of the large number of aircraft operating to and from areas hosting major sporting and entertainment events, the FAA has published updated procedures in its Domestic Notices valid from March 25–April 21 to enhance safety and minimize air traffic delays.

Andy Matthews, Director of Business Development at iFlightPlanner added, "We strive to maintain the most current retail fuel price database in the industry. If you are a fuel service provider looking for direct access to your pricing, or a pilot reporting a new price, please contact us!"
