International air travel has opened up the world to seeing new places and experiencing new things some people couldn’t have imagined 100 years ago.
Now we can just hop on a plane and go anywhere.
Well, almost anywhere.
But this NO FLY🛫 zones also known as a no-flight zone will stop us...
There are certain places where no aircraft can fly over for various reasons and many of these have been named no-fly 🛫 zones.
How do no-fly 🛫 zones work?
No-fly zones are primarily a safety measure. They prohibit aircraft from getting too close to certain places, to deter or at least identify potentially hostile aircraft. It could be for religions, environmental, historical or even political reasons.
Here are some of the places below👇
- Buckingham Palace, London and Windsor Castle -
You can't fly directly over the palace below a certain height, residency of the Queen, due to security reasons.
- Disney Parks
No aircraft can fly within 3,000 feet of Walt Disney World in Florida or Disneyland in California. Initially, it was a temporary ban that became permanent in 2003.
- Mecca
Passenger aircraft are not allowed to travel over Mecca as a mark of respect to this holy site. Non-Muslims are not permitted to travel to Mecca, as it is a sacred place for the Islamic faith, and the center of the Hajj pilgrimage.
- UKs serving Prime Minister, Downing Street
This is one of the most important streets in the country. Special permission is required to get in even on the ground.
There are more places that spring to mind
Perhaps The White House, The Pentagon, and parts of the Ukraine.
Also civilian planes seem to avoid much of North Korea, and Mount Everest.
