US Air Authority Warns of ‘Military Activities’ over Mexico, South America
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued urgent safety warnings for commercial flights over Mexico, Central America, and South America. Citing increased “military activities”.
The agency released multiple notices advising extreme caution for at least the next 60 days. The warnings impact major flight regions, including Bogota, Guayaquil, and Panama.
This alert follows a significant U.S. military escalation in the region under the Trump administration.
A recent high-stakes special forces raid in Caracas, known as “Operation Absolute Resolve,” reportedly led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
The operation resulted in nearly 50 casualties among Venezuelan forces, sharply increasing regional instability.
Tensions with Mexico have also intensified after President Trump labeled the country as being under cartel control. He has suggested the possibility of U.S. military strikes against organized crime groups on Mexican soil.
In response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum defended her administration’s domestic policies, asserting that they are already producing effective results.
The FAA specifically warned of GPS signal interference and other hazards for aircraft at all altitudes. The affected airspace spans Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and parts of the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Experts anticipate significant flight cancellations and rerouting as airlines move to avoid zones where electronic warfare or military hardware may be active.
Regional leaders have condemned the “militarization of politics” and the perceived threat to democratic sovereignty caused by these U.S. interventions.
As the U.S. continues to seize Venezuelan assets and weigh further military actions, the situation remains highly volatile.
This period marks a major crisis in U.S.-Latin American relations, disrupting both regional security and global aviation.
