KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) is advising the public, airlines, aviation stakeholders and the international aviation community that temporary restrictions may be placed on parts of Jamaica’s airspace on Friday.

The measures are linked to planned SpaceX Starship Flight 12 operations from Starbase, Texas, which could affect aircraft flying through the Caribbean region.

In a statement Friday, the JCAA said the rise in commercial space launches has increased the need for temporary safety measures in national and regional airspace. These precautions are intended to reduce risks related to launch operations, possible debris and other flight safety hazards.
