Military jets were deployed twice over the weekend to intercept aircraft that violated the no-fly zone around President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) confirmed both incidents, which occurred on Saturday morning and again on Sunday afternoon, raising concerns about airspace security.

On Saturday at approximately 8:50 a.m., an unauthorized plane entered restricted airspace over Palm Beach, triggering a response from F-16 fighter jets. The second incident took place at 1:15 p.m. Sunday when another aircraft breached the no-fly zone. In both cases, fighter jets used flares to signal the pilots to leave the area.

NORAD stated that these flares serve as an immediate visual warning and pose no risk to people on the ground. The military emphasized that pilots must check Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) before takeoff to avoid violating airspace restrictions, particularly near presidential locations.

Since Trump took office in January, there have been more than 20 airspace incursions near Mar-a-Lago, according to NORAD. Gen. Gregory Guillot, the commander of NORAD, stressed that these repeated violations indicate pilots are not following established flight regulations.

Airspace restrictions are strictly enforced when Trump is present at his Florida estate, and military officials continue to coordinate efforts with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to prevent further unauthorized flights. Despite the incidents, there was no indication that Trump was ever in immediate danger.
