Why planes are forbidden from flying over Disney parks (and other no-fly zones)
There are a number of airspace areas where aircraft are prohibited from entering. These usually include both manned (e.g. planes and helicopters) and unmanned ones (i.e. drones). There are essentially two main types of restricted areas: no-fly zones and prohibited airspace. They differ slightly, but both are implemented to the the same effect.
In this gallery, we look at where in the world aircraft are prohibited from entering. Click on to find out if your country is on the list.
No-fly zones
Examples of past no-fly zones enforced by the military in conflict areas include Iraq (1991-2003), Bosnia and Herzegovina (1993-1995), and Libya (2011, 2018-19).
Russia
Since 2022 many civilian airlines from Western countries have been prohibited from entering Russian airspace. The reason is tension between these countries following the conflict with Ukraine.
