AIRMAIL Meaning and
Definition
-
Airmail is a method of sending mail or packages through the use of airplanes or other aircraft, aiming to ensure faster delivery compared to traditional mail services. It involves the transportation of letters, documents, or parcels by air instead of ground or sea routes. Airmail services generally prioritize the rapid and efficient delivery of items, particularly over long distances or to distant regions.
Historically, airmail emerged in the early 20th century as aviation technology developed and allowed for the transportation of mail over vast distances in significantly reduced timeframes. This method revolutionized the speed of communication and trade across borders or remote areas.
Airmail typically involves specific guidelines and regulations regarding weight, size, and packaging of items to ensure compatibility with a variety of aircraft. Special envelopes or labels may be required to denote airmail, distinguishing it from regular mail.
In modern times, airmail has been greatly transformed by the advent of electronic communication and digital technologies. While the traditional paper mail still exists, airmail has expanded to encompass electronic methods such as email or online messaging services. Despite this, physical airmail remains a vital service for individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking expedited delivery, especially for international or distant destinations.

The word "airmail" originated from the combination of the words "air" and "mail".
The term "air" comes from the Old English word "ær", which means "the invisible gaseous substance surrounding the earth". It can be traced back to the Latin word "aer" and the Greek word "āēr", both having the same meaning. This word was commonly used to refer to the atmosphere or the air we breathe.
