      Yeah let‘s hope Trump isn‘t too harsh on Australia, could really harm their longterm influence in the region

      Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy and now Austria are refusing US to overfly their countries. It’s a blockade of a huge part of the northern access to the Mediterranean

      Does the blocked access affect the US and Israel militarily in any significant way?

      today they allowed two USAF EA-37 planes to use their airspace en route to the middle east

      It is rather standard practice for Austria. Only things we allow through are units for UN or CFSP approved missions of the EU (iE military material for Ukraine). If its standard peace time flyovers it tends not to be a problem if they are registered. But Austria has made a point during the Iraq war and even sent interceptors to remind the US.

      Excuse my ignorance but does this affect commercial airlines or just militarily?
