Lack of direct airline routes limit the flexibility of organ transplantation policies.
A new airline route can increase the number of kidneys shared between different regions by more than 7% while also decreasing the organ discard rate.
An increase in the quantity of kidneys does not come with a decrease in kidney quality.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) Doctors told Daniel Milburn’s family he had asthma. But when the 24-year-old’s breathing problems turned worse this spring, tests showed major blood clots in his lungs had put so much pressure on his heart that all of the organs were failing.
On April 4, Easter Sunday, Milburn got a second chance for life with a rare heart-lung transplant at UW Hospital.
“My breathing is 100% now,” he says, three months later. “I don’t ever remember breathing like this before.”
It was UW Hospital’s first heart-lung transplant since 2008, coming after Milburn clung to life on a heart-lung machine and was found to have had a life-threatening clotting condition likely for years, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.
