aerophile
Loves the air
An aerophile is someone who loves aviation or air travel—a person fascinated by aircraft, flight, or the experience of flying.
The term parallels bibliophile and audiophile, combining the Greek root for air with the suffix for lover: As an aerophile, she never missed an air show.
