Overview

  • Effective Oct. 20, the FAA established a 24/7 temporary flight restriction prohibiting aircraft within one nautical mile of Mar‑a‑Lago through next October.
  • The agency cites special security reasons, following recent sweeps that found a small wooden platform near the presidential deplaning area and drew an FBI review.
  • Palm Beach County says the restriction will alter some Palm Beach International Airport operations and shift more overflights over parts of West Palm Beach including Grandview Heights and Flamingo Park.
  • When President Trump is in Palm Beach, larger layers will activate, including a 10‑nautical‑mile inner core and a 10–30‑nautical‑mile outer ring with tighter limits on general aviation and drones.
  • County officials anticipate more noise complaints and directed residents to PBI’s Noise Abatement Office at 561‑683‑7242 or the airport’s online comment portal.
