How it's used
This term is used almost exclusively in formal, legal, or political contexts regarding national sovereignty. It is not a word used in casual daily conversation, as it relates specifically to international law and military boundaries. When discussing civilian air travel, people typically refer to the sky or flight paths rather than sovereign airspace.
