Airspeeders are swift flying vehicles that can achieve altitudes of a few hundred kilometers; however, they are not suited for space travel.
Knights of the Old Republic, page 95.
Though most commonly used on worlds with large urban populations (necessitating traffic lanes that stretch up into the sky), airspeeder production lags during the turbulent years following the Great Sith War. Those who once owned airspeeders trade them in for small starfighters or space transport; the ability to flee from a planet under assault from the Mandalorians or the Sith quickly outweighs the additional costs of maintaining a starship.
