On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shut down airspace near the Atlantic Ocean due to an increase in military activity. The FAA said that the airspace would be restricted from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, and that the airspace would remain closed until further notice.
The FAA has not released any details about the military activity that prompted the airspace closure, but they did say that the airspace would be restricted to all civilian aircraft in the area. This means that all commercial airline flights, private planes, and other aircraft will be prohibited from entering the airspace during the closure.
The affected airspace is located off the East Coast of the United States, and includes parts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas. The closure is expected to affect hundreds of flights, and could cause significant delays for travelers in the region.
The FAA did not provide any details on when the airspace will be reopened, but they did say that they are monitoring the situation and will make an announcement when the airspace is safe to enter. In the meantime, travelers in the area should be prepared for delays and plan accordingly.
The FAA’s decision to close the airspace is a precautionary measure, and is in line with their mission to ensure the safety of all airspace users. The FAA will continue to monitor the situation and will update their website with the latest information.
