FAA proposes flight restrictions near Trump Palm Beach airport
The proposal would keep current security rules in place while allowing normal airport operations and would still permit authorized military and emergency flights.
- The Federal Aviation Administration proposed special flight rules on Tuesday near Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, citing security concerns about President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.
- Threat intelligence prompted the Secret Service to request restrictions, stating the moves would "greatly increase the ability to mitigate the persistent risks posed by unauthorized aircraft and unmanned aircraft systems."
- Restrictions extend up to 2,000 feet within a one-nautical-mile radius around the property, though scheduled commercial flights may proceed if they maintain radio communication with air traffic control.
- Exceptions are carved out for lifesaving, emergency, and law enforcement aircraft to ensure operations continue, while wider restrictions remain in effect during visits to Mar-a-Lago.
- Formerly Palm Beach International Airport, the site was renamed Trump International Airport in July and ranks third locally in daily travelers, behind Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood International Airport.
