Renard Johnson: “The FAA's decision to place a temporary flight restriction…”

“And we will be taking limited questions after the statement. Thank you. Well, good morning, everyone. I want to provide an official update to the people of El PASO regarding The FAA's decision to place a temporary flight restriction and then their decision to lift the temporary flight restriction over our city 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.” (02:04–02:13)
