The U.S. has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restricting airspace off the coast of Ceiba, Puerto Rico, from November 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. The restriction is cited as being for “special security reasons.”
This airspace restriction will be in effect for nearly five months, impacting flight operations in the designated area. Further details regarding the specific nature of the security concerns have not been disclosed.
For context, similar situations have arisen in the past where airspace restrictions were implemented due to security concerns. In related coverage, the Pentagon has recently approved the transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, highlighting ongoing military developments in the region.
