A US Federal Aviation Administration and security agencies' proposal to ban foreign-operated flights from the Washington DC and New York areas and over part of Pennsylvania for much of 11-12 September is unlikely to be implemented after international carriers and airline organisations reacted angrily to the plan. The restrictions would have banned overseas carriers from operating to and from the three international airports in the Washington DC-Baltimore areas, and three airports serving New York on the anniversary of last year's terrorist attacks. The US Department of Transportation had not formally published the plan.
