The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly halted flights into and out of El Paso International Airport on Tuesday night, citing restrictions due to "cartel" drones, before abruptly lifting the restrictions less than 10 hours later. The initial closure, which began at 11:30 pm local time (1:30 am EST Wednesday), was intended to last for 10 days and included a 10-nautical-mile radius around the airport, with violators facing the possibility of being shot down, according to the FAA's notice. However, the restrictions were removed without further explanation, the agency announced on social media.
The FAA's initial notice stated the restrictions were in place to address the threat of "cartel" drones. The agency did not provide further details on the nature of the threat or the reasons for the sudden reversal. The FAA later stated there was no threat to commercial aviation.
