US Aviation Warns of Increased Military Activity and GPS Interference

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice to airmen (NOTAM) warning pilots to avoid Venezuelan airspace due to increased military activity, GPS interference, and potential threats to civil aircraft at all altitudes. The warning, issued on November 21, 2025, covers the Maiquetía Flight Information Region (SVZM FIR) and remains valid through February 19, 2026. Several carriers have canceled or rerouted flights over Venezuela, citing the advisory and the uncertain security environment. The FAA has also warned operators about recent reports of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference affecting aircraft transiting the region.
