Olivia Troye -They Closed the Sky Over El Paso Under "National Defense." What That Should Tell Us.
This week, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) abruptly classified the airspace over El Paso as "National Defense Airspace." Flights were grounded. Pilots were told the shutdown would last 10 days. Hospitals scrambled. Travelers were stranded. Local officials were blindsided.
And then, within hours, it was lifted.
El Paso is my hometown. I grew up there. I still have family and friends there. So when I saw the notice citing “special security reasons” and grounding aircraft up to 18,000 feet, I didn’t see a bureaucratic hiccup. I saw a warning sign.
Publicly, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed the closure was triggered by a cartel drone incursion that had been “neutralized.”
