The other day on TikTok I saw a video of a "movie." In it a bunch of modern-day people were standing in a city (NYC?) looking up at the sky as various types of human-made aircraft (planes, helicopters, etc.) were were slowly floating down to the ground in-between the buildings.
The capital of the Dutch side of the island is called Philipsburg. Philipsburg is awarded the number 1 shopping city in the Caribbean. Front street is the main street of Philipsburg where many jewelries, designers clothing boutiques and many other shops are located. Apart from shopping, there can be found a lot of art. For example, you could do the Philipsburg Mural Walk.

Every April, the Carnival takes place on St Maarten. For almost one whole month there are a lot of parties, parades and other events. In Philipsburg there is the Carnival Village, where there are over 60 boots with delicious local food as well as a big stage where performances are given. The biggest event of the Carnival is arguably Jouvert Morning, where everybody gets up at 4 in the morning, and then parties until the break of dawn.
[00:00:24] Before we get right into it though, I just want to remind those of you listening on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you may get your podcasts, that you can get the transcript and keep vocabulary for this podcast on the website, so that's leonardoenglish.com. There's also a whole load of information on how to use podcasts to learn English over on the blog.
[00:01:07] Countries own the sky that's above them and they can choose to allow planes from other countries to use it, or they can choose to not allow them to use it. A country might choose to not allow planes from another country to use its airspace if that country isn't an ally. So, for example, Taiwanese aeroplanes can't fly over China, Israeli aeroplanes can't fly over several Arab states, and vice versa, of course.
[00:01:35] Nowadays, there aren't actually that many countries which ban the use of their airspace to other countries. Also not allowing planes to go into your airspace means losing out on revenue because every time an aeroplane goes into the airspace of another country, that country charges a fee for it.
[00:01:55] But even 30 years ago, things were very different. Russia and China didn't allow Western aeroplanes to use their airspace, meaning that planes from Europe wanting to go east, for example, would need to make a big detour to avoid airspace belonging to the vast Soviet Union and China.
[00:02:44] Secondly, there is the category of places that are considered dangerous for commercial planes to fly over for geographical reasons. One you might be familiar with, or at least could imagine is Tibet.
[00:03:12] Firstly, Tibet is very high, with an average elevation of almost 5,000 metres. And if you think Mount Everest is 8,800 metres, then that really gives you an idea of quite how high Tibet is. Given that planes fly anywhere from nine and a half to eleven and a half kilometres high, that's actually pretty close to the ground in Tibet.
[00:05:23] It's that there just really isn't the demand for flights to go over Antarctica. If you take out a globe, you'll see that the only real practical flight would be from somewhere like the bottom of South America to Australia, but there just isn't enough demand to warrant the investment in radar stations and equipment to support these routes.
[00:05:56] Thirdly, there are those places where commercial airlines can't fly because the countries that own the airspace and own the ground underneath it aren't considered safe enough for passengers.
[00:06:52] Finally, our fourth category may just surprise you. Now, if you're wondering what Disneyworld, Disneyland and Buckingham Palace have in common, nope, I'm not going to make any jokes here about the inhabitants. I'll leave that to your own imagination. Disneyworld, Disneyland and Buckingham Palace all have no fly zones above them, meaning that no planes are allowed to travel at whatever height.
[00:07:51] In fact, the entire city of Paris has one. So if you'd been in Paris, looked up at the sky while you were enjoying your vin rouge and camembert or coffee and croissant and wondered where all the planes were, well, now you've got your answer. 0852c4b9a8
