1. A flight route generation device comprising:
at least one memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire working-area information for designating a plurality of working areas intended for a plurality of operations to be performed by a flight vehicle during a flight of the flight vehicle and via-point information representing a position of at least one via-point, identified by a user, which the flight vehicle passes through when flying over the plurality of working areas;
generate a plurality of intraregional flight routes for the flight vehicle to fly through the plurality of working areas based on the working-area information and an interregional flight route, passing via the at least one via-point, for the flight vehicle to move from a first working area to a second working area based on the via-point information;
acquire, when the flight vehicle moves between the first working area and the second working area among the plurality of working areas, first information, identified by the user, representing a first operation-start point for starting a first operation and a first operation-end point, which indicates a different position from the first operation-start point, for finishing the first operation in the first working area and second information, identified by the user, representing a second operation-start point for starting a second operation and a second operation-end point, which indicates a different position from the second operation-start point, for finishing the second operation in the second working area; and
generate the interregional flight route from the first operation-end point in the first working area to the second operation-start point in the second working area, which is different from the first working area.
