The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide security notice that effectively creates a moving drone no-fly zone around operations conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other components of the Department of Homeland Security. The notice, NOTAM FDC 6/4375, prohibits unmanned aircraft systems from operating within 3,000 feet laterally and 1,000 feet vertically of DHS facilities and mobile assets, including ground vehicle convoys and their escorts. The restriction applies nationwide and continuously, rather than at fixed locations or during defined time windows.

Carriers hired large numbers of first officers during the post-pandemic boom but still faced shortages of captains, forcing airlines to slow external hiring while upgrading pilots internally and managing aircraft delivery delays. That transition period now appears to be ending. Data released by ATP, one of…
