FAA warns airlines of military risks, GPS interference over Central, South Ameri

WASHINGTON, Jan 16 — The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration issued warnings to airlines on Friday to exercise caution when flying over Central America and parts of South America, citing risks of potential military activities and GPS interference.

The FAA said it is issuing a series of warnings to airlines operating in these regions.

The warnings specifically highlight concerns over military actions that could affect flight safety.

GPS interference is also cited as a significant risk factor in the advisory.

The FAA did not specify which countries or exact areas are most affected by these threats.

No immediate incidents or disruptions to flights have been reported in connection with the warnings.

The advisory comes amid ongoing regional tensions and military exercises in parts of Latin America.

Similar warnings have been issued in the past for other global regions with heightened military activity.

Airlines are advised to monitor FAA updates and adjust flight paths if necessary to ensure safety.

The FAA recommends that pilots use alternative navigation methods if GPS signals are compromised.
