Yes, this is a classic pathfinding problem, where the "state" is simply what 
fix (waypoint) you're at, and the neighbors are all other states you can reach 
via those flight corridors.  (I'd start by building a dictionary that maps any 
fix to all other fixes to which it's connected.)  You can use any search 
algorithm to find a solution, but if you know where these waypoints are 
physically located (such that you can compute a distance between any two), then 
it's ideal for A*.

All the major search algorithms are described and implemented here:
