The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a final rule revoking the Class D and Class E airspace in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) because the RMI is a sovereign nation, and the FAA does not have the authority to regulate its airspace as per Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Although this airspace was originally established when the United States had authority over the area, it was never revoked following the 1986 Compact of Free Association that recognized RMI's sovereignty. This rule addresses that oversight, and the change is considered routine with minimal impact. The rule is effective on April 17, 2025.
