airways
Paths for planes
Airways are the passages through which air travels—either the tubes in the body (trachea, bronchi) that carry breath to the lungs, or the designated routes through the sky that aircraft follow.
In medicine, clearing someone's airways means ensuring they can breathe.
In aviation, airways are invisible corridors defined by navigational points: The plane was assigned to a specific airway.
Airways also appears in airline names: British Airways, American Airways.
