It seems to me the following:

If there is combat in your hex, then any planes nearby will come out to play.

If you turn off air support, and put all planes at rest that might stop interceptions in the area.

But If any air forces have units doing an air mission in the area, then they are likely to intercept. I take it as they are doing their job, so not affected by a rest order.

EG (russian) planes protecting the sea route beween Leningrad and the pocket got involved in a ground combat.

Planes in the area can come from air groups from other command.
A battle showed the air group involved in a battle as X (air group providing ground support to involved units) but one of the squadrons came from air group Y.
Not sure if there is any penalty or whether those fight as under the control of the leader of X.

So if they do get involved despite rest - check for air directives.
I assume if they are at rest before the air phase then they won't commit to the mission, but changing any committed to air directives to rest during the ground phase is too late.
Let me know if I am wrong or you can refine the above thoughts.
