PARIS — Air France has expanded the area around *********** ruled off-limits for its planes after the country’s recent ******* test.

The ******* says the ******* apparently fell about 100 kilometres (60 miles) from the trajectory taken by Air France Flight 293, travelling July 28 from Tokyo to Paris.

In a statement Thursday to The Associated Press, Air France said such a distance means the flight wasn’t under any danger. But it said that “as a precautionary measure, the company has decided to expand the non-flyover area around ***********.”

The ******* said it routinely adjusts flight zones based on evolving threats, and already had a ban on flights over *********** before the recent test. It didn’t specify the scope of the new no-fly area.
