'No possible use other than military': China closes huge airspace zone off Shanghai for 40 days; offers no explanationChina has imposed a 40-day ban on civil aviation over a vast 09.04.2026

The Times of India

China has implemented a significant 40-day closure of a large airspace zone off the coast of Shanghai, beginning on March 15 and extending until April 23. The exact reasons for this extensive aviation restriction remain undisclosed by Chinese authorities, fueling speculation about its purpose. However, the sheer scale and duration of the ban, coupled with the lack of explanation, have led to widespread conjecture that the airspace is intended for military exercises or operations, with no apparent civilian application. This move has disrupted normal flight paths and raised questions about transparency in China's aviation management.
