Overview
- The FAA issued international security NOTAMs effective Jan. 16 through March 17 advising carriers to exercise caution.
- Coverage spans overwater areas in the Mexico Flight Information Region, including the Pacific and Gulf of California, the Mazatlan Oceanic FIR, portions of Central America and Panama, and the Bogota and Guayaquil FIRs off Colombia and Ecuador.
- The advisories warn of potential military activity and GNSS/GPS interference that could affect aircraft at all altitudes, including during departures and arrivals.
- The FAA did not attribute the activity to any actor and urged operators to remain alert to possible navigation disruptions.
- The warnings follow earlier FAA curbs after the U.S. operation that captured Venezuela’s president, with officials noting close FAA–military coordination and reports of recent safety incidents involving civil and military traffic.
