1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, blocked airspace description data;
converting, by the one or more processors, a flight path into a plurality of latitude-longitude pairs;
expanding, by the one or more processors, the blocked airspace description data into a plurality of potential blocked airspace sub-regions, each of the potential blocked airspace sub-regions including a geographical area;
comparing, by the one or more processors, a plurality of flight steps between the plurality of respective latitude-longitude pairs of the flight path to one or more geographic areas associated with each of the plurality of potential airspace sub-regions;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more intersections between the plurality of flight steps and the plurality of potential airspace sub-regions based on the comparison;
filtering, by the one or more processors, the plurality of potential blocked airspace sub-regions to a list of one or more potential blocked airspaces based on the one or more intersections; and
adjusting, by the one or more processors, the flight path based on the list of one or more potential blocked airspaces.
