The two categories of airspace are: regulatory and nonregulatory.
Within these two categories, there are four types: controlled, uncontrolled, special use, and other airspace.
There is no international agreement on the vertical extent of sovereign airspace, with suggestions ranging from about 30 km (19 mi)—the extent of the highest aircraft and balloons—to about 160 km (100 mi)—approximately the lowest extent of short-term stable orbits.
A country's sovereign airspace generally extends to a height of approximately 60,000 feet above ground level, according to international standards.
Above this altitude, it is considered to be outer space and falls under the jurisdiction of international space law.
