2. FAA's Trump-Related Banned Route Is Now Under Review Following Backlash In Palm Beach County (thetravel.com) — Residents near Palm Beach International Airport are dealing with louder, more frequent flights after a year-round FAA ban on routes over Mar-a-Lago pushed traffic over West Palm Beach and the Town of Palm Beach.
