If an "EXPEDITE" clearance is reissued without an "EXPEDITE" instruction, what happens to the "EXPEDITE" instruction?

When an "EXPEDITE" clearance is reissued without including the "EXPEDITE" instruction, the "EXPEDITE" instruction is effectively cancelled. This is because the issuance of a new clearance, which lacks the expedited designation, overrides the previous clearance, thus removing the expedited status.

In operational terms, when a new clearance is released, it is taken as a fresh directive that stands alone. Without the explicit mention of "EXPEDITE," it indicates a return to standard processing protocols. This means that even if the prior clearance had expedited instructions, they are not cited in the new one; therefore, there is no longer an expedited requirement tied to the reissued clearance.

This process ensures that all parties are following the most current and relevant instructions while minimizing confusion over expedited operations.
