In the case of a holding aircraft at RINKY, what factor is important before issuing the clearance for a diversion?

Issuing a clearance for a diversion requires careful consideration of several factors, but the emphasis on coordination with Sector 67 is vital. Effective communication with the relevant air traffic control sector ensures that all parties are aware of the aircraft's situation and the intended actions. This coordination helps to manage airspace efficiently, prevents conflicts with other air traffic, and ensures that the diversion can be executed safely without jeopardizing the operation of other aircraft in the area.

By coordinating with Sector 67, the air traffic controllers can confirm that they have the necessary resources and information to handle the diverting aircraft, including managing its approach, landing, and any potential impacts on the surrounding airspace. This step is crucial to maintain safe separation between aircraft and to optimize the flow of traffic in the sector during the diversion event.
