FAA Notice to Airmen Should Not Concern Travelers

On Jan. 4, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) of potentially hazardous conditions in the San Juan flight information region due to military activities.

Territorial airport manager Jerome Sheridan said Wednesday the ongoing NOTAM, which is in place until Feb. 2, did not portend “any threat” to the territory’s airports.

“First and foremost,” Sheridan said, “no one should be afraid to fly. This is no threat to the USVI.”

The notice is for “aviators and airport personnel.”

This particular notice came from the FAA, but “could be issued by several entities,” he said.
