El Paso Mayor furious about FAA shutting down air space in conjunction with Pentagon and not coordinating with city causing chaos and panic. Many in US military chain of command also caught unaware.

Mayor Renard Johnson: “This unnecessary decision has caused chaos and confusion in the El Paso community. I want to be very, very clear that this should have never happened. You cannot restrict airspace over a major city without coordinating with the city, the airport, the hospitals, the community leadership. That failure to communicate is unacceptable. These types of decisions have consequences. Medical evacuation flights were forced to divert to Las Cruces. All aviation operations were grounded, including emergency flights. This was a major and unnecessary disruption, one that has not occurred since 911. El Paso is not just a dot on a map. We are a major, major city. We are. We are the sixth largest city in the state of Texas, and we are the 22nd largest city in the United States.”
