The FAA has issued a flight advisory that establishes temporary restricted areas (TRA) for most non-commercial scheduled aircraft and UAS operations at or near some New York area airports during the upcoming UN General Assembly gathering in Manhattan. While the UN meeting runs from September 23 to 27, the restrictions will be in effect from September 21 to 27.

Separate restrictions apply to flights in the vicinity of the East River, Manhattan, John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), and Morristown Airport (KMMU) in New Jersey. In all cases, overflights of Manhattan are not permitted. Additional requirements apply to UAS (uncrewed aircraft systems) operations. LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) is limiting all general aviation flights to a maximum of two hours on the ground. “All of these airports are adding special event fees,” according to business aviation information provider OpsGroup. “Teterboro is the one exception so far, with no extra restrictions or event fees in place.”
