The 2023 Masters Golf Tournament

Welcome back to Jump Seat. It’s Spring and that time of year again! We expect to see a very busy week in Augusta, Georgia area on April 2nd-10th, 2023 for the Masters Golf Tournament; we’d like to give you a heads-up about it. 

Guidance from both the FAA and NBAA has been released. We’d also like to point out a few items that always come into play for this event. 

As soon as you can, contact your FBO to make reservations at the following locations: 

The FAA will have required IFR routes for arrivals and departures at the airports in the NOTAM. These routes will be available in the AutoGenerated route option on the flight planning page during the required times. You can also expect ATC Traffic Management initiatives such Ground Stops and Ground Delay Programs with possibilities of flow control and miles-in-trail for traffic volume. With that, we also anticipate Expected Departure Clearance Times, or EDCTs. 

The ARINCDirect Flight Operations team will stay aware of what is happening in and around the airspace for this event and will have the latest information from the Command Center and local ATC facilities. We can also assist you with delay mitigations throughout the event. Contact our Flight Operations team anytime at [email protected] or +1 410-266-2266.  

• The FAA’s PERTI Advanced Plan outlook (released every day by 2100 UTC, and linked on the ARINCDirect flight planning page) gives an informative briefing of what is going to take shape in the National Airspace. We highly recommend you review the plan daily as it will outline some of the details for the Masters event.
