Air Navigation (Airspace Restrictions) Regulations, 2013
The Governor of the Virgin Islands issued these regulations to prohibit the flight, takeoff, or landing of any aircraft owned, leased, or operated by the Taliban or designated persons within Virgin Islands airspace. The prohibition applies to all aircraft regardless of registration status and incorporates the definition of designated persons from the Al-Qaida (United Nations UK 2012 Measures) Order. An exemption is permitted only when a flight secures advance approval from the United Nations Security Council Committee for humanitarian or religious purposes and receives explicit authorization from the Governor, with the rules taking effect on September 20, 2013.
