The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established a no-fly zone, effective immediately, over midtown Manhattan until Jan. 21, 2017, the day after President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated as the 45th president of the United States.
The FAA's order cites "VIP Movement" as the reason, and the zone is up to 2,999 feet above the ground and 2-mile-wide radius around Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
A spokesperson for the FAA was not immediately able to answer if or how the local NYC airports would be affected by the change.
The Notice To Airmen, or NOTAM, features several exceptions, including the United States Secret Service aircraft.
