Airway was an American automobile brand established by T.P. Hall Engineering Corp. in San Diego, California, operating from 1948 to 1950. The brand emerged during a period of innovation in the automotive industry, although it was distinct in its focus on conventional vehicles rather than flying cars, despite T.P. Hall's previous involvement with the Convair flying car project.

The Airway vehicles were powered by a unique air-cooled aluminum block 2-cylinder engine. The brand offered two distinct models: a fastback 2-seater coupe and a notchback 3-seater sedan. Both models were priced at $750, making them relatively affordable for the time. However, production was limited, with only one example of each model being manufactured, which contributes to the brand's rarity in automotive history.

Despite its brief existence, Airway represents a niche segment of post-war American automotive development, showcasing the era's experimental spirit and the diverse approaches to vehicle design.
