El Paso Airspace Closure Lifted Amidst Drone and Tech Test Speculation
The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the airspace around El Paso International Airport after a brief, unprecedented 10-day closure prompted by a cartel drone incursion. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the threat was neutralized, ensuring no danger to commercial travel. The FAA’s swift action allowed flights to resume Wednesday morning, following significant community and congressional concern over the disruption and lack of advance notice.
