air sovereignty

Air sovereignty refers to a nation's legal authority and control over the airspace above its territory. It means that the country has the right to monitor, regulate, and defend the airspace from unauthorized or hostile aircraft. This sovereignty ensures safety, security, and the exercise of national rights, allowing a government to enforce laws, prevent illegal activities, and respond to any threats in its airspace. Just as land and sea sovereignty protect a country's borders and resources, air sovereignty secures its skies and maintains national security.
