air routes
Planes travel these
Air routes are established paths through the sky that aircraft follow between destinations.
Like highways in the air, they're defined corridors with specific altitudes and waypoints, managed by air traffic control to keep planes safely separated: The airline added new air routes to Asia.
Also called airways or flight paths.
