Pursue alternate or scaled-back flight restrictions around Mar-a-Lago that reduce community impact while maintaining security.

I am pursuing a direct meeting with the FAA and PBI staff to discuss the possibility of alternate or scaled-back restrictions.

Frankel commits to seeking reduced flight restrictions that still protect security.

I write to request that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hold off on making the current flight restrictions around Mar-a-Lago permanent while their impacts and alternatives are more fully evaluated. The current restrictions were implemented on October 20, 2025, on a temporary, one-year basis and are scheduled to expire on October 20, 2026. If the FAA proceeds with its proposal to make them permanent, I request that it extend the current October 2, 2026, deadline for public comments by 60 days, through December 1, 2026; hold a public meeting in Palm Beach County; and ensure that any final rule includes an expedited process to modify, reduce, suspend, or terminate the restrictions if circumstances change.

Frankel asked the FAA to avoid making Mar-a-Lago flight restrictions permanent until impacts and alternatives are evaluated, and if it proceeds, to extend comments, hold a local meeting, and include a process to reduce or end restrictions if circumstances change.

The Washington Post reported that local officials, including Rep. Lois Frankel, were demanding answers from the FAA and Secret Service after a year-round Mar-a-Lago no-fly policy redirected air traffic over other neighborhoods. Frankel said her constituents from both parties were complaining and said she expected to meet with the Secret Service the next month.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is a concrete sign that Frankel was actively pursuing a community-impact compromise, but the report did not show any scaled-back restriction being adopted.

AP reported that a civilian aircraft violated the temporary flight restriction near Palm Beach and was intercepted by NORAD F-16s with flares, indicating the security airspace around Mar-a-Lago remained active and tightly enforced in 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The airspace regime was still being enforced months later, which is consistent with no publicly documented move to a softer or alternate restriction set.
