air corridors
Designated sky routes
Air corridors are designated routes through airspace that aircraft must follow.
They exist for safety, efficiency, or political reasons—keeping planes separated, channeling traffic over specific ground paths, or permitting passage through otherwise restricted zones.
The Berlin Airlift of 1948–49 used narrow air corridors through Soviet-controlled airspace to supply West Berlin.
