- President Donald Trump is expected to arrive Oct. 31 for a three-day stay at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
- The Federal Aviation Administration has issued temporary flight restrictions from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 for the visit.
- The visit would follow the president’s return from a multi-day trip to Asia.
- South Ocean Boulevard will be closed next to Mar-a-Lago beginning at 5 a.m. Oct. 31, until further notice, Palm Beach said.
It appears President Donald Trump will arrive earlier than usual for this weekend’s stay at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, according to a new set of temporary flight restrictions.
When visiting the island, Air Force One with Trump aboard typically lands during or after rush hour in the late afternoon. The new restrictions take effect at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 31 and will remain in place until at least 6:30 p.m. Nov. 2, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s notice.
The restrictions provide a window during which Palm Beach residents may expect Trump to arrive and depart.
This would be Trump’s 12th visit to Palm Beach since Jan. 20, when he began his second term in the White House.
South Ocean Boulevard between the Southern Boulevard traffic circle and South County Road next to Mar-a-Lago will close at 5 a.m. Oct. 31 and remain closed until further notice, Palm Beach officials said in an alert on Oct. 27.
The president’s expected three-day stay at Mar-a-Lago will follow his trip to Asia, where he oversaw the signing of a peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia, while also negotiating and announcing trade deals with several countries.
The trip to Palm Beach coincides with Mar-a-Lago’s season-opening Halloween party.
While the notice of temporary flight restrictions does not mention Trump by name, it details the level of restrictions issued when the president travels to and from Mar-a-Lago. Those restrictions include a radius of 10 nautical miles where most flights are banned, followed by a ring with a 30-nautical-mile radius where more movement is allowed, according to the FAA.
The temporary flight restrictions issued when Trump comes to Palm Beach are broader than those that recently took effect in the airspace over Mar-a-Lago and remain in place when the president departs.
The new restrictions prevent aircraft from flying within 1 nautical mile of Trump’s Palm Beach home. Instead, planes that would have departed to the east from Palm Beach International Airport now head northeast away from the Mar-a-Lago toward areas unaccustomed to jet noise and potential pollution from soot. Those typically will included some neighborhoods in Palm Beach.
Palm Beach County’s Department of Airports and the Citizens’ Committee on Airport Noise will meet to discuss the new flight restrictions at 6 p.m. Nov. 6 in the main conference room of Palm Beach International Airport’s Building 846, south of Belvedere Road off of 8th Street, behind the CareerSource Palm Beach County offices.
Palm Beach officials said Oct. 27 that people who would like to file a complaint about air traffic noise may submit comments online at pbia.org/noise/noise-comments or by calling Palm Beach International Airport’s Noise Abatement Office at 561-683-7242. People may also mail a formal complaint to the FAA Complaint Clerk by sending a letter to Formal Complaint Clerk (AGC – 300), Office of the Chief Counsel, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591.
