flight corridor
Approved aerial path
A flight corridor is a designated airspace through which aircraft are permitted to fly, typically established for safety, security, or diplomatic reasons.
The term appears in military contexts for safe passage zones and in civil aviation for routing over sensitive areas: The humanitarian flight corridor allowed aid planes to reach the besieged city.
During the Berlin Airlift, aircraft used narrow flight corridors through Soviet-controlled airspace.
