1. A flight management system comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
receive, from a terminal used by a user, area information indicating a flight area, which is generated on the terminal, serving as a flight-permitted area by a flight vehicle;
determine whether or not the received flight area is a communication area in which communication is possible;
store, in the memory, the area information and user identification information used to identify the user of the terminal, in a case where the received flight area is determined to be the communication area in which communication is possible;
receive from the terminal, after the flight area is determined to be the communication area, path information including the flight path preferred by the user to fly the flight vehicle, which is specified within the flight area determined to be the communication area at the terminal, and store the path information in the memory in association with the user identification information; and
transmit, to the flight vehicle, flight information controlling the flight vehicle to automatically fly along the flight path.
