That gives planes more flexibility to leave the designated flight path - or "highways in the sky," as Blakey calls them - and chart their own routes that are either more direct or that dodge a storm system. The end result is that flights on average would be shorter and fewer planes would have to be delayed or canceled because of bad weather...
