aircraft traffic
A runway, taxiway, or identifiable infrastructure carrying a flight path for airplanes or other flying vehicles.
An aircraft traffic pathway is a place used as a runway or taxiway for airplanes and flying vehicles. It could also, theoretically, be used as a flyway for such vehicles, if such a usage could be contained within an identified structure or infrastructural construction.
Runways and taxiways are included even while the aircraft is moving on the ground. The use is not restricted to a route through the air.
A flyway qualifies only where it can be contained within an identified structure or infrastructural construction. Unbounded airspace alone does not meet that condition.
