Key Takeaways:

  • A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) has been established around Trump Tower in Manhattan, effective from election night until the day after Inauguration Day, due to the president-elect's residence.
  • Initially closing the scenic Hudson River VFR corridor, the TFR has since been amended to reopen a portion on the western side of the river.
  • The restricted airspace extends from the surface to 2,999 feet across the Hudson and East Rivers, with exceptions for local heliports, a seaplane base, and authorized emergency flights.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Trump TFR” over New York City has been amended by the FAA to reopen a portion the Hudson River Corridor on the western side of the river.
