Emergency transportation by plane (7)

I believe the answer is:

airlift

(Other definitions for airlift that I've seen before include "Transportation of goods to inaccessible place" , "Transport in planes" , "Transport by plane" , "Flying transportation" , "Fly people or goods to places not otherwise accessible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
