How it's used
Functions as a modifier rather than a standalone noun in most natural contexts. It almost always appears as the first part of a compound word to specify that a service, industry, or object is related to flight. You will rarely hear it used alone to describe the act of flying itself, as that is usually covered by terms like 飛行.
Examples
His childhood dream was to become an aviation engineer.
This company is mainly responsible for aviation logistics services.
