Overview
- The FAA published a NOTAM warning that potential military operations near the Mexican Pacific could cause GPS interference affecting routes over Mexico, Central America and parts of South America.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the federal government has no record of U.S. military overflights in Mexican airspace and indicated she will address the topic at her morning press conference.
- Mexico’s SICT described the NOTAM as preventive guidance rather than a prohibition and said there are no operational impacts for Mexican civil aviation.
- The SICT emphasized that the FAA’s authority extends to U.S. civil operators only, so the advisory does not apply to Mexican airlines or pilots.
- Officials noted the FAA has issued similar preventive notices for the Caribbean in recent weeks and said the measure has now been extended to the Pacific area.
