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 closure, which began at 11:30 pm local time (1:30 am EST Wednesday), initially included a 10-nautical-mile radius around the airport and threatened violators with being shot down, according to the FAA's notice. However, the restrictions were removed without explanation, with the agency stating on social media that there was "no threat to commercial aviation."
The FAA's initial notice indicated the restrictions were expected to last for 10 days. The sudden reversal has left many questions unanswered. The agency has not yet provided a reason for the initial closure or the subsequent lifting of restrictions.
