Forbes • • world
Key Points:
- The FAA has issued a 60-day warning for airlines to exercise caution when flying over parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America due to risks from military activities and satellite-navigation interference.
- Rising tensions between the U.S. and countries in the region stem from increased U.S. military presence and actions, including a military attack on Venezuela and threats of further interventions in Colombia and Mexico.
- U.S. airlines have not yet issued public travel advisories but are monitoring the situation closely and maintaining communication with government authorities to adjust flight operations if necessary.
- Mexico’s aviation authority clarified that the FAA advisory applies only to U.S. carriers and does not require operational changes for Mexican civil aviation, describing it as a preventive measure rather than a flight ban
