Convey \Con*vey"\ (k[o^]n*v[=a]"), v. t. [imp. & p. p.
{Conveyed} (k[o^]n*v[=a]d"); p. pr. & vb. n. {Conveying}.]
[OF. conveir, convoier, to escort, convoy, F. convoyer, LL.
conviare, fr. L. con- + via way. See {Viaduct}, {Voyage}, and
cf. {Convoy}.]
1. To carry from one place to another; to bear or transport.
[1913 Webster]
The software is *not* being conveyed to the airline passenger. It's
conveyed from the computer programmers to Airbus and the airlines.
