aerogramme
Foldable airmail sheet
An aerogramme is a lightweight letter designed for international airmail.
The single sheet of thin paper folds into its own envelope, minimizing weight to reduce postage costs.
Also spelled aerogram.
The format was widely used before email made international correspondence nearly instantaneous: She sent aerogrammes home every week during her year abroad.
