Studies of the social and cultural dimensions of airspace and aerial transportation have evaded much geographical investigation until recently. While transport geographers have sought to trace out the economic, political and organisational dimensions and linkages air-transport creates between places, new scholarship is beginning to contribute through disparate techniques, theories and methodologies, more sensitive to social and cultural theory. As this article suggests, however, they have not gone far enough in exploring both the multiple spatialities of aeromobility and, furthermore, the spaces in which aeromobilities count most critically for human life and quality. This article provides a short overview of recent research that has used a disparate set of approaches to the study of aeromobilities. Issues from passenger profiling, strategic bombing to extraordinary rendition are explored.
