FAA Issues Bethpage TFR for Sept 26–28, 2025

FAA has issued a Temporary Flight Restriction over Bethpage, NY, for security between September 26 and 28, 2025.

The Bethpage TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) runs from September 26 to September 28, 2025, and limits unauthorized aircraft operations over Bethpage, New York. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says the restriction is security-related; affected airspace is off-limits to aircraft that do not have explicit permission to operate there.

General aviation and some commercial operations in the area could see routing changes or delays while the TFR is active. Pilots and operators are required to check FAA NOTAMs (Notice to Air Missions) for the official details, airspace coordinates, and any changes to the restriction before departing.

What pilots need to know about the Bethpage TFR

Pilot compliance is mandatory: coordinate with air traffic control (ATC), confirm any required authorizations, and update flight plans if your route brings you near Bethpage. Flight crews should brief passengers and dispatch teams about potential reroutes. Airlines typically issue operational advisories to affected flights; individual GA (general aviation) pilots should review temporary procedures and file for any necessary authorizations well ahead of planned departures.

Bethpage TFR dates: September 26–28, 2025 — no unauthorized flights under the Bethpage TFR.
Check FAA NOTAMs and TFR listings for the latest coordinates and entry requirements.
If you operate in the area, contact ATC or your airline operations desk before taxiing or filing a flight plan.

Passengers traveling through the region should check their airline’s status alerts or use flight-tracking tools if they’re concerned about delays. Airport operations near restricted airspace can shift schedules; airlines and ATC manage safety and minimize disruption, but last-minute changes are possible while the TFR is active.

This notice covers September 26–28, 2025. For authoritative updates and to request authorizations where applicable, consult the FAA’s official TFR list and NOTAM system before flight. Staying current with FAA publications is the fastest way to avoid violations and ensure safety during temporary airspace restrictions.
