SEOUL, South Korea - Air Canada and Singapore Airlines joined South Korean airlines in rerouting flights to steer clear of North Korean airspace Friday after the communist regime threatened Seoul's passenger planes amid heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula.
North Korea warned late Thursday that it cannot guarantee the safety of South Korea's passenger jets flying near its airspace if annual joint U.S.-South Korean military maneuvers go ahead as planned Monday.
South Korea's two main airlines, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, immediately began redirecting flights away from the North's airspace.
