There is something called international civil aviation law, and both India and Pakistan are signatories on it. A couple of important points are:
- Any civil aircraft can fly over any other country.
- Any aircraft can take off from its home country land in a foreign country and vice versa.
- Any aircraft can fly from a foreign country to another country.
In
the case of an emergency, the plane will be allowed to land, although
the passengers might not be allowed to deboard, or maybe not allowed
outside the airport premises.
Athough there
are many other laws, it basically states that civil aircrafts can fly
over whichever country they wish to, by paying a certain fee.
Many Indian flights fly over Pakistan regularly.
Here is a route of the flights to Dubai from different cities of India.
In fact,
aircraft carriers don't want to have to fly over pakistan, and use the
Arabian Sea to go to gulf countries, since they'd save on fuel, time and
airspace fees. They currently have to go via Pakistan because the air
Force has restricted access to certain airspace over Gujarat .
