Usage Note
Aerolínea is the standard modern term for an airline company; the older compañía aérea is also used but less common. The written accent on the í breaks the vowel cluster so that -lí-ne-a is sounded as separate syllables rather than a single glide.
Examples
"La aerolínea canceló varios vuelos por la tormenta."
Natural Translation
The airline cancelled several flights due to the storm.
