Spain Partially Closes Its Airspace Due To Chinese Missile
Spain briefly closed airspace over the northeast region of Catalonia and three other regions on Friday as the remnants of a Chinese missile were expected to pass.
About this, as writes “European truth”, reports Reuters.
“Due to the risk associated with the passage of space object CZ-5B through Spanish airspace, flights were completely restricted from 09:38 to 10:18 am in Catalonia and other communities,” the Catalan emergency services said.
In turn, Spanish air traffic controllers informed on Twitter that “Eurocontrol reports an uncontrolled re-entry of a Chinese rocket into the atmosphere.” “It is predicted that in a few minutes <…> the start of traffic from airports with affected routes will begin,” the air traffic controllers then specified. “Nevertheless, it will take some time to restore the overall traffic rate in terms of delays.”
The Spanish authorities did not report any incidents in connection with the passage of a rocket over the territory of the country.
