US EditionFAA warns airlines on Central, South American flights of potential military actions
The FAA issued 60-day flight advisories over Mexico, Central and South America due to military activities and possible GPS interference amid rising regional tensions.
- On January 16, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration issued urgent Notices to Airmen warning operators over Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, Colombia and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
- After recent U.S. military buildup and strikes, regional tensions rose amid nearly four months of U.S. military strikes and a January 3 operation that captured Nicolás Maduro, Venezuelan president.
- FAA notices describe risks to GNSS navigation at all flight altitudes and phases, while Mexico's aviation authorities said the advisory is preventive and applies only to U.S. operators.
- Travelers should check with airlines for updates, as major U.S. carriers monitor guidance and review routes to avoid hazards after earlier FAA restrictions caused cancellations.
- Coordination among aviation agencies could produce further guidance during the 60-day notice, as regional civil aviation authorities work with FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford through March 17.
