- Flight type filtering with visual indicators
- Major Iraqi airports monitoring (Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Najaf, Mosul, Kirkuk)
- Airspace sector monitoring (Baghdad Control Center and subsectors)
- Capacity utilization tracking with alert levels
- Overflight route management (L866, M644, UL866, UM688)
- Overflight flow analysis by direction and altitude
- Country-based traffic analysis showing origin countries
- Sector utilization monitoring with capacity warnings
- Route management recommendations
- Real-time alerts for sector congestion
