WASHINGTON — President Biden was briefly evacuated Saturday from his beach house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., after a small private plane accidentally flew into restricted airspace, according to White House and Secret Service officials.
Mr. Biden arrived in Rehoboth Beach on Thursday evening and is expected to return to the White House on Sunday. Officials said the president was not in danger during the incident.
A White House official told reporters that Mr. Biden and the first lady were briefly evacuated and then returned to their residence.
“A small private plane entered restricted airspace, all indications are incorrect and precautionary measures have been taken,” the official said. “There was no threat against the president or his family.”
Steve Kopek, a Secret Service spokesman, said the plane entered restricted airspace shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday.
“The aircraft was immediately escorted out of restricted airspace,” Kopek said in a statement. He didn’t provide further details, but several people in the area tweeted that they saw two military jets flying overhead at around the same time.
Officials did not provide details of Mr. Biden’s evacuation. But there were public reports that his motorcade was seen driving into a local fire station on Saturday afternoon and then leaving the station about half an hour later. Rehoboth Avenue, a major shopping thoroughfare, was briefly closed, people said on Twitter.
Officials said only that precautions had been taken.
Mr. Kopek said it appeared the pilot of the small plane was unaware of the president’s presence in Delaware and the accompanying airspace restrictions.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the pilot was not on the proper radio channel, was not following NOTAMS (Notices to Airmen) that had been filed, and was not following published flight guidelines,” he said. in the press release. “The United States Secret Service will interview the pilot.”
Mr. Biden owns a $2.7 million beach house in the North Shores, an affluent neighborhood a mile north of the city. He bought the house in 2017 and uses it frequently for vacations and for brief weekend visits.
