1. A method of communicating messages, the method comprising:
receiving a message from a first station, wherein receiving the message from the first station comprises receiving an airline operational communications (AOC) message from an AOC ground station;
automatically determining whether the message from the first station is a clearance intended message that requires clearance from a second station based on an element identifier in the message that is detected by a processor;
when it is determined the message from the first station requires clearance from the second station, automatically identifying on a display that the message requires clearance from the second station;
decoding the determined message that requires clearance;
automatically building a clearance request for the decoded message by automatically translating the decoded message to a format understood by the second station;
storing the translated message in a memory; and
routing the translated message to the second station upon selection of the clearance intended message by a consumer of the message.
