Why would this be a problem? An offset of slightly more than half the wingspan of the airplane + GPS uncertainty would be enough. If you want to introduce this unilaterally, go for the wingspan of the A380. So we are talking about an offset of less than 300 feet. This shouldn't be a problem even over New York.
