FAA Warns Airlines of Military Activity Risks Over Latin America

Описание: The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a 60-day advisory urging airlines to exercise caution when flying over parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America, citing potential military activities and satellite navigation interference.

The FAA released a series of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) covering airspace over countries including Panama, Ecuador, and Colombia, as well as sections of the Pacific Ocean. The advisories warn that risks may exist at all altitudes, including during overflight, takeoff, and landing phases.

The warning follows recent near-miss incidents between U.S. military aircraft and passenger jets near Venezuela and comes amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the region involving the United States. While U.S. airlines are monitoring the situation, no major carrier has announced flight cancellations so far.

In this America Today report, we explain what the FAA warning means for airlines, how governments in Latin America are responding, and what travelers should know as international tensions affect global aviation.
