Ramon Airport is set to operate only during daytime hours starting November 1, potentially affecting around 25 U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft based there.

🇺🇸 MIAMI AIRPORT RUNWAY REOPENS AFTER FATAL 21 AIR CRASH
Miami International Airport’s Runway 8R/26L has fully reopened after crews removed the wreckage of the Amazon 767 that overran Runway 12/30. Runway 12/30 remains closed for inspections and repairs following the crash that killed five people.
The accident has also raised questions about EMAS (Engineered Materials Arresting System) — a specially designed safety bed at the end of a runway. It uses crushable blocks that collapse under an aircraft’s weight, acting like a giant emergency brake to rapidly slow an aircraft during an overrun.
MIA does not currently have EMAS, instead relying on a 1,000-foot grass and soil safety area beyond the runway. Experts note that EMAS might have significantly slowed the 767, although it is impossible to know whether it would have prevented the tragedy.
