20MAR26 (13:30)📲Reports from Metro #Quito area⛽️🛢🧯Comments Section opinion pieces- "Hey friends, just a heads up for some reason there was a run on “extra” gasoline this morning. I’ve received a lot of reports that gas stations are only selling “super” right now. - I confirmed this at two separate Primax stations." It may have had to do with the recent fire at the Esmeralda oil refinery."

-or- with the problems with the oil tankers through the straight of Hormuz and the worldwide supply chain.(?) At this rate, the 'Super' might also run out because the stocks of Super gasoline are much lower than the Extra gasoline. The report that aviation fuel will be rationed from March 21-28 may have set it off."

See report official sources, they explain it here, it is mainly a supply chain problem and also a crude oil line broken, and then there was also a mudslide on the access road which impeded the tanker trucks from getting through..."- https://www.primicias.ec/economia/restriccion-combustibles-diesel-terminal-beaterio-petroecuador-gasolineras-quito-118408/

FRI 16JAN26 (Reuters)✈️'FAA issues warnings to airlines on Central, South American flights over potential military actions-🪖January 16, 2026 (15:37 GMT-5)

 FRI 16JAN26 (Reuters)✈️'FAA issues warnings to airlines on Central, South American flights over potential military actions-🪖January 16, 2026 (15:37 GMT-5) "The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is issuing a series of warnings to airlines to exercise caution when flying over Central America and parts of South America, citing the risks of potential military activities and GPS interference.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it is issuing a series of warnings to airlines to exercise caution when flying over Central America and parts of South America, citing the risks of potential military activities and GPS interference.The FAA said it had issued Notices to Airmen covering Mexico and other Central American countries, as well as Ecuador, Colombia and portions of airspace within the eastern Pacific Ocean. The warnings began Friday and will last 60 days, the agency added.

The warnings come amid increased tensions between the United States and regional leaders after the Trump administration mounted a large-scale military buildup in the southern Caribbean, attacked Venezuela and seized the country's president, Nicolas Maduro in a military operation. President Donald Trump has raised the possibility of other military actions in the area, including against Colombia.

Trump said last week that cartels were running Mexico and suggested the U.S. could strike land targets to combat them, in one of a series of threats to deploy U.S. military force against drug cartels.After the attack on Venezuela, the FAA curbed flights throughout the Caribbean, which forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights by major airlines.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told Reuters earlier this week there had been good coordination between the agency and U.S. military before the Venezuela operation.Last month, a JetBlue (JBLU.O) passenger jet bound for New York took evasive action to avoid a mid-air collision with a U.S. Air Force tanker plane near Venezuela.

JetBlue Flight 1112 had departed the Caribbean nation of Curacao and was flying about 40 miles (64 km) off the coast of Venezuela when the Airbus plane (AIR.PA) reported encountering the Air Force jet, which did not have its transponder activated...."
