According to the Korea Times, NK airspace is commonly used:

"Under an inter-Korean agreement signed in 1997, South Korean passenger airplanes have been allowed to fly over North Korea's airspace since April 1998.

According to the ministry spokesman, 5,260 flights passed through the North's territorial airspace and the North was paid up to $6 billion in fees last year."

I don't believe the North can afford to be so picky!
