FAA Proposes Modification to Gulf of Mexico High Offshore Airspace Area

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to modify the Gulf of Mexico High Offshore Airspace Area, extending it west and south to the Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Flight Information Region/Control Area (FIR/CTA) boundary, and establishing vertical limits from Flight Level (FL) 280 to FL 600. This change aims to provide additional airspace for domestic air traffic procedures, enhancing its utilization.
