Paris excited about greeting high-flier (7)
I believe the answer is:
airship
'high-flier' is the definition.
'paris excited about greeting' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'paris' anagrammed gives 'airsp'.
'airsp' going around 'hi' is 'AIRSHIP'.
(Other definitions for airship that I've seen before include "need approval from CAA" , "Gas-filled craft" , "Flying machine" , "Dirigible" , "flying craft" .)
