KINGSTON, Jamaica — Temporary airspace restrictions are to be imposed over Jamaica on Friday, November 13, in connection with the planned launch of SpaceX Starship Flight 15 from Texas, United States.

According to a Thursday release from the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), the restrictions will affect the northern portion of the Kingston Flight Information Region and could result in delays and route adjustments for some flights.

The FAA has grounded all flights in all US airports maybe due to issues affecting Air Route Traffic Control, let’s hope that is not other issues that they are refusing to report.

The launch is scheduled for 5:45 pm, subject to final operational arrangements. Alternative launch opportunities have also been identified between November 14 and 19 if the operation is postponed.

As a precaution, the JCAA will implement temporary ground stops at Jamaica’s three international airports: Sangster International Airport, Norman Manley International Airport and Ian Fleming International Airport, effective 5:15 pm Friday, if the launch proceeds as planned.
