WASHINGTON/Mexico City, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Friday warned airlines of potential risks, advising them to "exercise caution" when flying over Mexico and several other Latin American countries due to "military activity."
"The FAA has issued advisories to pilots regarding operations in certain portions of the Mexico, Central American, Panama, Bogotín, Guayaquil, and Mazatlán Oceanic Flight Information Regions, as well as airspace in the Eastern Pacific Ocean," an FAA spokesperson said, adding that the advisories will be in effect for 60 days, beginning Friday.
The agency warned of the possibility of disruptions to global navigation satellite systems, which would create conditions that could pose a threat to flight safety.
Mexico's Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications, and Transport stated that the FAA's notice is preventative in nature. It does not imply any restrictions or impact civil aviation in Mexico.
The notice is not a ban, but a precautionary measure aimed at increasing caution when conducting aviation operations within certain airspace regions, the ministry said in a statement.
There are no operational consequences or restrictions for Mexico or Mexican airlines and operators, the department said.
