The Pentagon announced that weather conditions are being closely monitored ahead of the U.S. Army anniversary parade scheduled for Saturday in Washington, D.C. While some airlines speculate the parade could be rescheduled to earlier on Saturday or to Sunday, no official changes have been confirmed yet.

The White House assured that the celebration will proceed, regardless of weather, honoring military servicemembers.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to suspend flights at Reagan National Airport from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the parade, and vehicle traffic in parts of Washington will be restricted.

In response, major airlines like United and American are offering travel waivers, rebooking options, and service adjustments, including additional and larger aircraft, to accommodate affected travelers.

The parade features a substantial military presence with 6,500 troops, 150 vehicles, and 50 aircraft including Apache and Black Hawk helicopters and historical aircraft like the B-25 bomber and P-51 Mustang.

Given that Washington, D.C. has the most restricted airspace in the U.S., drone flights are prohibited without FAA approval.
