Two major airports and 10 satellite airports are part of the Cleveland/Detroit Metroplex project that will expand the number of entry and exit points into and out of airspace of both cities. The FAA adds that in most cases aircraft will follow the same routes that they do today.

Travelers are expected to benefit from safe and more efficient routing.
