Austria announced this month that U.S. military planes involved in Operation Epic Fury could not use its airspace, joining other EU countries in restricting U.S. military aircraft operations (see: https://thehill.com/policy/international/5815053-austria-defies-trump-war/). This market will resolve to “Yes” if any EU member state that has not yet applied such a restriction officially announces that U.S. military aircraft are not permitted to use its airspace or land in its territory, or announces that U.S. military aircraft are generally not allowed to use certain military bases or airports within its jurisdiction, by April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A restriction applying only to a subset of U.S. military aircraft (e.g. only aircraft involved in Operation Epic Fury) will qualify. A qualifying restriction must be a standing policy; isolated instances of access denial will not count. For example: Italy’s isolated refusal to allow U.S. military aircraft to use Sigonella airbase (see: https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/italy-refuses-us-aircraft-use-sicily-base-middle-east-operations-source-says-2026-03-31/) would not count. An overwhelming consensus of credible reporting that another EU country has implemented a qualifying restriction on U.S. military aircraft will also suffice for a “Yes” resolution. Mere statements from U.S. officials, however, will not qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the relevant countries; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used. Austria's decision last week to ban U.S. military overflights citing its constitutional neutrality policy marked the latest EU restriction amid the Iran conflict, following similar moves by Spain, Italy, and France in late March that shuttered airspace or denied base access for aircraft linked to U.S. operations. President Trump's public rebukes of these nations have not prompted further actions, with key NATO allies like Germany and the UK maintaining open access and no reports of pending diplomatic escalations or policy shifts. Traders' 80% consensus on "No" reflects this stabilization, viewing additional restrictions by April 30 as improbable absent major new developments in transatlantic relations or the Middle East theater.
