FAA Grounds Flights at El Paso Airport Over Security Concern

The FAA temporarily halted all flights at El Paso International Airport today due to a national security concern. Officials reported suspected cross-border cartel drone activity, prompting the declaration of a temporary defense-restricted airspace.

All departures and arrivals were grounded, and some flights were diverted mid-route while authorities assessed the situation. After review, the threat was cleared, and flights resumed with delays.
