Runway

Fashion show platform

A runway is a long, flat surface where aircraft take off and land.

The term extends to the narrow platform models walk along during fashion shows, displaying clothes to an audience: She strutted down the runway.

In business, runway refers to how long a company can operate before running out of money: We have six months of runway left.
