Respected sir
I am faisal, flight dispatcher, from Pakistan, working with PIA. I want to get information about air tracks including common and non common portion/area in Europe and USA/Canada. Please also define when are required to use this.

All air routes are common in the US. They consist of Jet airways and Victor airways. The jet airways are for use above FL180, the Victor airways below FL180. Airlines routinely file flight plans along airways, but they also fly direct from point to point. Aircraft are not required to use airways, but they often do as a matter of convenience.
If this doesn't answer your question, let me know and we can go over some more information.
