flight ban

No planes allowed

A flight ban is an official prohibition on aircraft operating in or traveling to a specific area.

Governments impose flight bans during conflicts, natural disasters, or diplomatic disputes: The EU imposed a flight ban on Russian airlines.

A flight ban may also target specific carriers or aircraft types for safety reasons.

Sometimes called a no-fly zone when referring to restricted airspace.
