Low Altitude Airways (or Victor Airways) primarily serve smaller piston-engine,
propeller-driven airplanes on shorter routes and at lower altitudes. Airways are eight
nautical miles wide and start 1,200 feet above ground level (AGL) and extend up

High Altitude Airways (or Jet Routes) primarily serve airliners, jets, turboprops, and

18,000 feet MSL and extend upward to 45,000 feet MSL (altitudes above 18,000 feet
