1. A computing device for aircraft taxi route generation, comprising:
a memory;
a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to:
receive a routing plan request for an aircraft;
generate, in response to receiving the routing plan request, a taxi route for the aircraft through an airfield of an airport using a rule engine, wherein the taxi route includes a start point on the airfield, an end point on the airfield, and a path between the start point and the end point; and
transmit the taxi route to the aircraft; and
a user interface configured to:
display a map of the airfield;
display the taxi route on the map of the airfield; and
receive a taxi route modification input to modify the taxi route through the airfield, wherein the taxi route modification input includes a selection of:
a selection point on the path of the taxi route between the start point and the end point; and
a drop point on the airfield;
wherein the modified taxi route is displayed on the user interface in response to receiving the taxi route modification input, and wherein past inputs are utilized to resolve an ambiguous input for the drop point to aid in the modified taxi route in response to the selection of the drop point on the airfield being ambiguous.
