There is no specific no-fly zone over the North Pole itself, but the airspace in that region is subject to international regulations and agreements, primarily governed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Aircraft can fly over the North Pole, but they must adhere to safety protocols, including communication and navigation requirements. Additionally, certain military operations may impose temporary restrictions in specific areas.
Richard E. Byrd was a navigator and expedition leader who claimed that he was the first to fly over the South and North Poles. However, his claims were disputed and majority of polar experts believe that Roald Amundsen has the first verifiable flight claim to each pole.

No. If you fly due south, you will not reach the north pole. Though you may start your journey pointing due south, once you fly past the south pole, assuming that you did not change direction, you would begin flying north (because the Earth is round). While you would eventually reach the north pole, you would not be flying due south when you did.
Flying over the North Pole is not inherently unhealthy, but there are considerations for flight crew and passengers due to increased radiation exposure at high altitudes and potential magnetic interference with navigational systems. Airlines have safety measures in place to mitigate these risks, and flights over the North Pole are common with no significant health issues reported for passengers.
Yes, commercial flights can fly over the North Pole, but it is not a common route due to the extreme weather conditions and limited infrastructure in the region.
This question can be answered in two ways. In 1954, Louise Boyd privately chartered a DC-4 and crew to fly her over the North Pole. Which made her the first woman to be flown over a pole. Or In 1971, Sheilia Scott flew her single-engined Piper Comanche registered G-ATOY and named Myth Too, single handedly over the North Pole, Making her the first woman to fly over the North Pole.
No, you cannot fly to the North Pole for a vacation as there are no commercial flights that go directly to the North Pole.

Planes dont fly directly from US to JAPAN via north pole because of the strong aircurrents that happens to the airplane and may cause it to fall resulting in imediate death to all passengers.
