If people want to have a joke they need to make it believable. Like a good April Fool, it has to be plausible which is where so many spoofs fail. (The Guardian’s Republic of San Serife and BBC’s 1957 Spaghetti Harvest are good examples that worked well.)
Sadly the FAA like a lot of US government is shutdown right now and has been for sometime. So the FAA were not releasing anything on Dec31st 2018 as nobody was at work. At this point you don’t need to actually read any further.
If anyone needs further proof that the article is a hoax, just read the other items on site!
Additionally, if you look hard enough, there’s this statement on the ‘About’ page. -
This site publishes satire. If you don’t have a sense of humor that is unfortunate.
I prefer Ham Hijinks myself

Puts me in mind of an episode of Family Fortunes some years ago when the public were asked for words begining with the letter “z”. Non of the comtesttants guessed the mosy poplar word, something like 60%, Yes you’ve guessed it.
