1. A system comprising:
an aircraft configured to travel from a departure location to an arrival location;
a user interface onboard the aircraft; and
a flight plan generating control unit including an artificial intelligence or machine learning system, wherein the flight plan generating control unit is configured to:
receive a flight plan request for the aircraft from the user interface onboard the aircraft,
determine if the flight plan request matches a flight plan within a flight plan database, wherein the flight plan includes a route between the departure location and the arrival location,
in response to the flight plan request matching the flight plan within the flight plan database, submit the flight plan to a validation sub-system, and
in response to the flight plan request not matching the flight plan within the flight plan database, determine a new flight plan via an iterative graph search.
