Morphology
The meaning is directly derived from combining 'air' (aviation/air transport) with 'crew' (a group working together to operate a vehicle), so the phrase denotes the group working on an aircraft. This noun+noun composition follows a transparent, compositional pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Air crew joins air and crew to make a simple picture: a 'crew' is a group of people who work together on a ship or machine. When they work on a plane in the sky, they are the air crew, the people who run the plane during a flight.
