Andaman airspace closed for 3 hours for high-altitude weapon test, another one tomorrow

The Andaman airspace was restricted from 7 am to 10 am for the test, and a similar closure is planned for the same time on Saturday.

“Like today, the airspace over and around Andaman and Nicobar Islands will be closed tomorrow for three hours (7 am to 10 am),” the official said.

The official added that the closure had been planned in advance. “We have already issued Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) on May 16,” the official added, “and instructed that no civilian aircraft will be allowed to fly over Andaman on May 23 and May 24,” he said.
