0 an air route connecting two places that makes it possible for people or supplies, such as military equipment, to be transported into or out of an area:
Tankers left to set up the air bridge that would move combat and cargo planes to the Middle East.
Mexico mounted an ambitious air bridge of helicopter shipments of tons of medicine to Nicaragua.
Air bridges could allow people to travel freely between the UK and other specified countries without quarantine.
Cracks in the tarmac mean that planes are unable to use 11 out of 51 air bridges for boarding aircraft.
If the air bridge failed, the embattled men would certainly die in large numbers.
The runway would provide an ideal air bridge for the supply of small weapons and ammunition such as artillery shells and rockets.
Air bridges, or bilateral travel agreements, would ensure no quarantine on arrival.
Governments would certainly be keen on a system that screened would-be visitors before they even stepped foot on the air bridge.
