Overview

  • The FAA posted NOTAMs on Jan. 16 covering Mexico, Central America, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, the eastern Pacific and the Gulf of California.
  • The advisories warn that potential military activity could disrupt GPS and other navigation at all altitudes, including during arrivals and departures.
  • The warnings take effect immediately and are slated to remain in place through March 17.
  • The agency did not identify the source of the military activity and instructed airlines to exercise heightened caution.
  • The action follows a U.S. operation that captured Venezuela’s president and a reported JetBlue near-miss with a U.S. Air Force tanker, with FAA leadership noting prior military coordination.
