ABC-7 Xtra Sunday – Aftermath of the El Paso airspace closure

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A sudden overnight complete closure of the airspace over El Paso and near Santa Teresa leads to major concerns and confusion about what exactly was happening.

As the El Paso closure was lifted just as suddenly hours later, there were more issues raised about how decisions were being made and a lack of communication with local government and agencies.

As travelers scrambled to change and rearrange plans even as flights returned to normal throughout the day, even more questions remain about why the actions were taken.

So what is the local response and efforts in the aftermath, and what happens now? 

Join host Andrew J. Polk as he speaks one-on-one with El Paso Mayor Renard Johnson about what the city knew and when, and what the communication and steps have been since.

Tune in Sunday at 10:35 p.m., right after ABC-7 at 10 Weekend.
