The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has lifted the airspace closure over El Paso International Airport, less than a day after it was imposed due to alleged drone activity by Mexican cartels. According to Al Jazeera, the Trump administration's decision to reverse the 10-day flight ban came after the Department of Defense reportedly disabled the drones, as confirmed by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The FAA stated that there was 'no threat to commercial aviation' and that flights would resume as normal (South China Morning Post). This abrupt reversal has sparked skepticism and confusion, with The Hindu noting that Mexico claimed to have 'no information' on the drones, and some U.S. lawmakers suspecting the shutdown was related to U.S. military drone testing.
