aerogrammes
Foldable airmail stationery
Aerogrammes are lightweight letter sheets designed for international airmail.
The paper folds into its own envelope, with postage often preprinted, keeping weight minimal to reduce mailing costs.
Also spelled aerograms.
The format was popular before email made instant international communication routine: She sent aerogrammes home every week during her year abroad.
