aerogram
Foldable overseas mail
An aerogram is a lightweight letter designed for international airmail, printed on a single sheet of thin paper that folds into its own envelope.
The format minimizes weight to reduce postage costs.
Also spelled aerogramme.
The term occasionally appears for any message sent by air, or historically for a wireless telegram.
