Delivery making atmosphere fall (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airdrop

'delivery' is the definition.
(I know that airdrop is a type of delivery)

'atmosphere fall' is the wordplay.
'atmosphere' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'fall' becomes 'drop' (synonyms).
'air'+'drop'='AIRDROP'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for airdrop that I've seen before include "Parachuting of supplies" , "How paras go in" , "Delivery of supplies by parachute" , "Emergency delivery" , "supplies sent down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
