With the Democratic National Convention slated to begin next week in Chicago, the FAA has instituted a 10-nm TFR that will affect general aviation traffic at Midway International Airport (KMDW) starting on Monday. From August 19 to 22, a general aviation restriction will be in effect daily from 2 p.m. local time until 11:30 p.m.

Similar to the DASSP program for Washington Reagan National Airport, it will require all general aviation aircraft intending to fly to KMDW to first land at gateway airports Chicago Rockford International (KRFD) or South Bend International (KSBN) between the aforementioned times for special TSA security screening.
