The Federal Aviation Administration published a Letter to Airmen on September 26 confirming Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) around Marine Corps Air Station Miramar for the annual airshow. The TFR, active daily until 17:02 local on September 27, extends five nautical miles from the show center and up to 16,000 feet, effectively closing Montgomery Field (MYF) during Blue Angels performances. While primarily aimed at general aviation, the airspace limits can ripple into commercial schedules at San Diego International, eight miles southwest. Business-aviation operators must obtain ATC authorization or reroute west of Interstate 5. The FAA warned that unauthorized entry will trigger enforcement referrals. Travel managers with last-minute charter flights or tech-sector shuttles into San Diego should check NOTAMs and coordinate slot times to avoid holding patterns. Ground transfers may also lengthen as Highway 52 and local arterials handle extra traffic for the public event. More broadly, the notice illustrates how VIP and special-event TFRs can appear with little notice, complicating executive travel. Subscription-based flight-planning tools that ingest FAA NOTAM feeds can help mobility teams anticipate such bottlenecks and advise travelers accordingly.
