This document discusses flight operation policies for extended diversion time operations (EDTO) areas and routes. It states that the mid-Asia, Europe, Pacific, North America, and Africa regions are approved EDTO areas for the airline. It also explains that the EDTO area of operations is established during flight preparation based on designated alternate airports and maximum diversion distances and times. The document notes that actual diversion times may be higher than planned times in non-ideal conditions.

EDTO areas of operation and EDTO routes (citi-pair)
MID/ASIA, EUR, PAC ,NAM, AFI are approved EDTO areas for BAV. The EDTO area of operations is established during the flight preparation process based on the designated en-route alternate airports and the maximum diversion distance corresponding to the approved EDTO maximum diversion time and speed. This area is represented graphically by maximum diversion distance arcs or circles around the selected en-route alternate airports to establish a geographic boundary limitation for the planned route of flight. The 60-minute (non-EDTO) and EDTO areas of operation are defined in international standard atmosphere (ISA) and still-air (zero wind) conditions, therefore, actual diversion times may be higher than the diversion times used to establish the corresponding area of operation. This is expected and does not constitute an area of operation exceedance as long as the planned route of flight remains within the applicable still-air range from an en-route alternate airport.
