Abstract
Every state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. Consequently, no aircraft is normally entitled to enter the airspace above the territory of a foreign state without the latter’s permission Does this principle—very firmly established in international law since World War I—mean that any aircraft entering without such permission 1 is completely at the mercy of the territorial sovereign ? Or does international law impose some restraints upon the latter in this matter?
