FAA Rescinds 10-Day Flight Ban Over El Paso, Texas
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted the temporary closure of airspace over El Paso, Texas, allowing all flights to resume. This decision follows a 10-day grounding of all flights to and from El Paso International Airport, which was enacted due to unspecified security concerns. The abrupt closure raised questions about the necessity of such measures, with officials stating that there must be a valid reason for the airspace restrictions. Now that the ban has been rescinded, normal flight operations are set to continue.
