Airspace

/ˈɛrˌspeɪs/ noun

Definition

The portion of the atmosphere above a particular country or territory, subject to its jurisdiction. The three-dimensional space available for aircraft movement.

Etymology

Compound word combining 'air' and 'space', first used in aviation contexts in the early 20th century. The legal concept of national airspace developed alongside aviation technology and international flight regulations.

Kelly Says

National airspace sovereignty extends upward indefinitely in theory, but practically ends where outer space begins - though there's no universally agreed boundary! The busiest airspace in the world is over Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, managing over 2,500 flights daily.
