Flights to and from El Paso have come to a grinding halt

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has shut down all flights into and out of El Paso until late on February 20. The reason? ‘Special security reasons,’ because that’s not vague at all. It’s not like they’re trying to avoid telling us what’s really going on.

What’s behind the shutdown?

Details are scarce, but it’s clear the FAA isn’t messing around. With no explanation and no end in sight until February 20, travelers are left scrambling to make other arrangements. It’s a mess, and the FAA’s tight-lipped approach isn’t helping.

It’s worth noting that ‘security reasons’ is often code for ‘we don’t want to tell you what’s going on.’ So, what’s really happening in El Paso? Your guess is as good as mine.
