The possibility is examined that a model based on space noncommutativity of linear type can explain why photons from distant sources with multi-TeV energies can reach the Earth. In particular within a model in which space coordinates satisfy the algebra of the SU(2) Lie group, it is shown that there is a possibility that the pair production through the reaction of CMB and energetic photons be forbidden kinematically.
