Notams published by the FAA late last night temporarily prohibit operation of general aviation (GA) and nonscheduled aircraft at 12 U.S. airports. The notams took effect yesterday and expire on Dec. 31, 2025.

According to one of the notams, the airport is closed to GA and nonscheduled aircraft except for based aircraft, emergency, medical, law enforcement, firefighting, and military operations, or unless authorized. “This notam may be canceled earlier or extended as operational needs require.”
