greek authorities have denied MAT Macedonian airlines the right to fly over its territory unless the airline changes its name (due to greek issues with the name)
Has this situation happened before and what right do the greeks have to do this

A country’s airspace is an integral part of it’s sovereign territory.
Sovereign nations have always had the right to refuse, or to grant, admission to their territory as they see fit. That’s why there are things like passports and visas.
Clear enough? 🙂

The same right as many states have to refuse overflight to Israeli and South African planes.

the question simply asks how is this legal
