That leads me to the following questions:</p>\n<p>Is there a database of possible waypoints that we can use to connect the airports? In case that such a data base exists, we will be able to use them all or only a subset?</p>\n<p>In case that we do not need predefined waypoints to perform the optimization I assume we are able to provide as many as we desire only specifying them by customized latitude and longitude coordinates. Is that right?</p>\n<p>Thank you in advance,</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>",
