There is no FLIGHT TravelMode in the Google Maps Javascript API v3.

google.maps.TravelMode constants

The valid travel modes that can be specified in a DirectionsRequest as well as the travel modes returned in a DirectionsStep.

  • BICYCLING Specifies a bicycling directions request.
  • DRIVING Specifies a driving directions request.
  • TRANSIT Specifies a transit directions request.
  • WALKING Specifies a walking directions request.

One option would be to draw a normal or geodesic Polyline between the two airports.
