US air authority warns of ‘military activities’ over Mexico, South America
AI Summary
In January 2026, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued warnings to airlines to exercise caution when flying over Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, and Colombia due to unspecified "military activities." These advisories, valid for 60 days, come amid a US military buildup in Latin America, including past attacks on Venezuela. The FAA cited a "potentially hazardous situation" in areas including parts of the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California. The warnings follow incidents like a JetBlue flight taking evasive action to avoid a US Air Force plane near Venezuela. These events occurred after President Trump threatened military action against drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia.
