Airbound

/ˈɛərbaʊnd/ adjective

Definition

Destined for, traveling by, or restricted to air transport; scheduled for flight.

Etymology

From 'air' plus 'bound' (Old English 'bunden,' meaning 'tied' or 'headed toward'), creating a word meaning 'heading through the air.'

Kelly Says

When a package is labeled 'airbound,' it means it's committed to traveling by air—airlines use this term to distinguish air freight from ground shipments, which affects everything from price to delivery time!
