Airport management keeping it soaring in high-level place (5)
I believe the answer is:
attic
'high-level place' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'airport management keeping it soaring' is the wordplay.
'airport management' becomes 'cta' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'keeping' is an insertion indicator (some letters kept inside).
'soaring' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in a down clue, letters 'soar' up).
'cta' going around 'it' is 'citta'.
'citta' back-to-front is 'ATTIC'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attic that I've seen before include "Small room at the top" , "Room at the top of a house" , "Ancient Greek; loft" , "Top level" , "Tacit (anag.)" .)
