skyways

Skyways is a term with dual usage in aviation. It serves as both a generic descriptor for aerial routes and as a brand name used by several airlines and aviation companies.

As a brand, Skyways has been adopted by multiple operators in different countries. These companies ranged from regional carriers to charter outfits, and many existed only briefly before ceasing operations, merging, or rebranding.

In route planning, skyways or sky routes have historically referred to defined corridors that aircraft could follow to increase efficiency and safety. In contemporary air traffic management, such corridors are typically described using standardized terms like airways, jet routes, or RNAV routes, though the word skyway remains in some planning documents and public discourse.
