Title: All Flights Halted at El Paso Airport for 10 Days
Post by A Proud Gay Aussie on Feb 11^th, 2026 at 10:39pm

Credible intel about a threat, probably from Mexican drug cartels, would be my guess. It's definitely something big -- even under this bumbling administration, you don't stop air traffic to and from the nation's 23rd largest city for nothing. I saw that even medical evacuations aren't allowed. No reason is being given.

"Flights will resume when the airport is named The Donald J. Trump International Southern Border Airport.

Thank you for your attention to this matter."

And now they've reopened the airport. No explanations given.

This is the biggest dumb bugger of an administration that ever dumb buggered.

They’re saying it was drone activity by drug cartels. Probably trying to build public fear/support for a land invasion of Mexico because of drugs.

You believe the bullshit story they're putting out? A major US airport is to be closed for 10 days, then 10 hours later, it is open?
