YOu do not own to infinity. Most jurisdictions say you own above your property so neighboring properties cannot encroach on your property, and you can have quiet enjoyment of your property.
Utilities and airlines have unfettered access to the area above your property.

In the United States...
You own all the airspace above your property...no limit.
Yet, your rights to that space are limited by standard airspace easements.
Similar to easements that allow people to walk on sidewalks that cross your property and powerlines to cross over your property, aircraft are allowed to fly over your property as well.
The right to access vs. ownership are two different things. A realtor will lose out to a Business Law textbook anyday. Airplanes have access, but they do not own the airspace...that THAT was the question.

you do not have any rights to the airspace above your property.. the government has all the rights. and no a helicopter shouldnt be able to hover 20 feet over your land, there is certain rules for what altitudes helicopters or planes can be at unless of course it's landing.

You have limited control over the airspace over your property. There is no defined footage limit, but a neighbor could not build an extension from his house which hangs directly over YOUR house. The courts would hold for you.
On the other hand, a commercial jetliner can cross the airspace over your property with impunity.

Do you own the airspace in your brain?
