A Kingston-bound JetBlue flight was forced to return to Miami while several other international services were delayed or left overnight in Jamaica on Friday as temporary airspace restrictions linked to a SpaceX Starship launch again disrupted Caribbean aviation operations.
The disruption, tied to SpaceX’s Starship Flight 12 launch from Starbase, Texas, affected flights operating through sections of the Kingston Flight Information Region during a restricted operational window between 5:30 p.m. and 7:43 p.m.
JetBlue flight B61575 from Fort Lauderdale to Kingston was among the most significantly affected after the aircraft reportedly turned back to Miami because of the airspace closure.
