DIVISION OF GLOBAL AIR SPACE

Global territorial airspace and that over high seas

divided into flight information regions FIR for provision of air traffic services. Each FIR may have many control areas /terminal control areas and control zones. India has 4 FIRS and a sub- FIR Guwahati within Kolkata FIR. ICAO has categorized airspaces in seven categories from A to G. Airspace category A to E are known as controlled airspaces , Category F airspace known as advisory airspace and category G airspace known as Flight information service airspace. A network of air routes defined by navigational aids or other facilities have been promulgated by states which form part of global, regional or domestic air routes.
