'travelling up from here maybe' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'voice to left' is the wordplay.
'voice' becomes 'air' (both can mean to express something).
'to left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'air'+'port'='AIRPORT'

'give' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airport that I've seen before include "duty-free location?" , "Charles de Gaulle, for instance" , "Place from which to fly" , "Transport hub" , "Heathrow or similar place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
