landed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with grounds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'having ended a journey by air' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
