no-fly zone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'exclusion zone' is the definition.
(I know that no-fly zone is a type of exclusion zone)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for no-fly zone that I've seen before include "Area over which aircraft are forbidden" , "Area banned to aircraft" , "Area out of bounds to aircraft" , "Airspace in which (military) planes are forbidden" , "Airspace where no aircraft can go" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
