Morphology

airmailer = airmail (semi-transparent) = air + mail + er

The suffix '-er' attaches transparently to 'airmail', but the resulting noun is a specialized item for airmail service rather than a fully literal everyday formation.

Etymology

Airmailer is built from air and mail, or the common word airmail, which means 'mail sent by plane'. So an airmailer is a light envelope or small package made for sending things quickly 'by plane'.
