OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport (SJU)
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport informs that, in accordance with a security order issued by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the airspace covering Puerto Rico has been temporarily restricted for U.S. airlines.
This measure is due to air safety considerations related to military activity in Venezuela and is not associated with any situation at the airport nor directly related to Puerto Rico.
As a result of this federal directive:
• Most commercial flights to and from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport operated by U.S. airlines are suspended or may be temporarily canceled.
• Foreign airlines and military aircraft are not included in this restriction, in accordance with FAA authorizations.
• The measure has an initial duration of approximately 24 hours, subject to review and possible extensions by federal authorities.
Passengers are encouraged to check directly with their airline for the status of their flight before traveling to the airport and to stay informed only through official channels.
Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport remains in constant communication with federal aviation authorities and will continue to provide timely updates as official information becomes available.

As a reminder, political comments are not appropriate here.

My pals at The Sugar Mill hardly got off the phone all day with folks cancelling, wanting their $ back etc. I cant imagine the airports messes today..glad I'm here til next month..just hope he doesnt start another war by then.
