The FAA has issued 12 airport-specific NOTAMs temporarily prohibiting most general aviation and non-scheduled operations beginning November 10, 2025. The airports in question are among the 40 designated as High Impact Airports under the Emergency Order issued last week.
The airports currently affected by a NOTAM limiting access include:
Chicago O’Hare (ORD) | Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) | Denver (DEN) | Boston Logan (BOS) | Houston Bush Intercontinental (IAH) | Atlanta (ATL) | John F. Kennedy (JFK) | Los Angeles (LAX) | Newark (EWR) | Phoenix (PHX) | Washington National (DCA) | Seattle-Tacoma (SEA).
These restrictions were published as individual NOTAMs for each affected facility, although the language of the NOTAMs is identical.
Limited exceptions apply for:
• Based aircraft
• Emergency, medical, law enforcement, firefighting, or military operations
• Flights specifically authorized by the FAA
NATA encourages members to plan proactively for all flights while the Emergency Order is in effect—advise clients of potential delays, consider alternate airports when feasible, and adjust fuel and crew strategies accordingly.
Review the FAA Emergency Order.
Frequently Check NOTAMs as affected airports and conditions may change.
NATA continues to advocate on behalf of business and general aviation to ensure access, safety, and operational clarity as these restrictions evolve.
