US EditionPlanes over Palm Beach must navigate around new Mar-a-Lago no-fly zone
The new flight restrictions reroute departures over historic neighborhoods, causing noise and pollution concerns while ensuring continuous presidential security, officials said.
- On Oct. 20, the U.S. Secret Service imposed a 24/7 flight ban over Mar-a-Lago, diverting Palm Beach International Airport departures over nearby neighborhoods.
- Longstanding efforts by President Donald Trump prompted the Secret Service to request the Federal Aviation Administration impose flight restrictions to ensure presidential safety, reflecting Trump’s decades-long lawsuits over plane noise since buying Mar-a-Lago in 1985 for $8 million.
- Revised departure procedures require aircraft leaving Runway 10L at Palm Beach International Airport to make an immediate left turn below 3,000 feet, rerouting flights over El Cid and Flamingo Park.
- Local officials and residents are demanding answers as Palm Beach County officials asked the FAA to delay finalizing flight paths pending consultation, while Rep. Lois Frankel and a local real estate agent warn homes under flight paths sell for about 20% less.
- The rules will remain in place at least until next October, but residents fear the change could become permanent, and Palm Beach County proposed allowing TSA-approved aircraft to use original routes when the president is absent.
