Description
The FAA proposes to implement Special Air Traffic Rules in the airspace around President Donald J. Trump International Airport (DJT), formerly Palm Beach International Airport. This action is in response to a request from the U.S. Secret Service to restrict aircraft operations near President Trump's Florida non-Governmental property to ensure national security. The proposed rules would restrict aircraft from operating in the DJT Special Flight Rules Area unless they meet specific conditions such as maintaining two-way radio communication with ATC, having ATC authorization, and transmitting a discrete transponder code. Comments on the proposal are due by October 2, 2026.
