  • 항공사: airline company, referring to the business operating flights.

Usage Notes

When you see "항공," think about the context of flying or air transport rather than a physical airport. A common mistake is to confuse "항공" with "공항" which means "airport." They sound similar but have different meanings.

"항공" is a formal noun often used in news, travel, and technical contexts. It is not used alone to mean "airport."
