Publicize policy for carrier (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airline

'carrier' is the definition.
(airline is a kind of carrier)

'publicize policy' is the wordplay.
'publicize' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'policy' becomes 'line' (I've seen this in another clue).
'air'+'line'='AIRLINE'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for airline that I've seen before include "carrier" , "It serves both divers and travellers" , "EasyJet, for example" , "Aircraft operating company" , "Transport organisation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
