Federal Aviation Administration officials say they are opening up the airspace over Jacksonville.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is set to expand the amount of available airspace over Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to accommodate the growing number of space launches from the region, as announced on March 23, 2023. This expansion, which will be implemented in stages starting in August 2023 and completed by December 2024, aims to enhance safety and efficiency by providing more room for space vehicles during launch and reentry. The decision comes in response to the increased frequency of launches from facilities like Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center, driven by both government and commercial space endeavors. The FAA's move is part of a broader effort to adapt the national airspace system to the evolving demands of the space industry.
