The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is creating a prohibited airspace area over Trump Tower that remains in place beyond President Donald Trump’s time in office. Multiple reports say the FAA is moving to add a regulatory provision to establish an ongoing restriction for flights operating in the vicinity of the building. The airspace limit is described as roughly one nautical mile around Trump Tower and up to about 1,000 feet in altitude. Under the proposed arrangement, aircraft do not operate in the restricted area without permission coordinated through the U.S. Secret Service, which is described as the authority that grants clearance. The coverage characterizes the action as a regulatory effort that would make the airspace restriction continuous rather than tied only to the period when the president is using the property or the presidency itself. Sources also describe the process as involving updates to federal aviation rules under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, with the intent of defining the prohibited area as “necessary for the president.”

2 hours agoThe FAA is creating a permanent prohibited airspace area over Trump Tower, requiring Secret Service permission to fly within roughly one nautical mile and up to 1,000 feet. That may be defensible while Trump is president, but making the restriction open-ended creates a lasting federal privilege for private commercial property even after he leaves office.
