It's when people use airplanes to carry people or supplies somewhere.
In the context of Germany and the Cold War, it was when, in 1948-1949, the Soviets blockaded West Berlin in an attempt to starve the people into surrendering and joining them. The USA, UK and some Commonwealth countries conducted the "Berlin Airlift", where they used airplanes to bring supplies to West Berlin- thereby thwarting the Soviet effort.
