TL;DR Summary

China is reportedly planning to close the airspace north of Taiwan from April 16 to 18, which could disrupt flights around the region. The reason for the restrictions is unknown, but it comes after China's military training around self-ruled Taiwan in response to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's recent meeting with U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The flight ban is expected to affect 60%-70% of flights going between Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as flights between Taiwan and South Korea, Japan, and North America.
