The new restrictions will be in place for at least a year.
The FAA has issued new flight restrictions around President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The new restrictions will be in place for at least a year and will apply even when the president isn’t staying at his club, a major departure from what was done previously.
The new restrictions started at 8:00 a.m. ET on Monday and won’t expire until Oct. 20, 2026, according to the FAA notice posted online. The no-fly zone includes a one nautical mile radius up to 2,000 feet, where all aircraft are banned, including planes, helicopters, and drones. These restrictions apply even when Trump isn’t on the property.
Temporary Flight Restrictions are in place when Trump visits Mar-a-Lago and those will remain, including a 10 nautical mile radius around Palm Beach International Airport. That so-called inner core includes strict limitations on aviation, while the outer ring extends from 10-30 nautical miles and imposes some restrictions on aircraft that get approval for operations, according to a Powerpoint presentation available on the airport’s website.
