That's not really true. Beyond the height necessary for the landowner's use, the air space becomes public domain. For townhouses, there isn't a reasonable use for the air above them so the gondola could legally be built above them, but it's not right to say that landowners have no right to the air above their property. If this were, for example, a farm that required aerial spraying of seeds and pesticides, then it would be trespassing.
