Flight has always fascinated humanity. First came legends of Winged Humanoids and Floating Continents, witches flying on broomsticks, then eventually airships and actual airplanes. When the aircraft carrier was invented, its sheer awesome (and force projection) made the battleship a military relic.note Although the potential weakness of the carrier vessel itself, should its air arm ever be somehow neutralized, has more than once induced the theorization of a carrier-battleship hybrid. Considering this, is it any surprise that people have wanted to combine the awesome of the airplane, aircraft carrier, zeppelin and floating continent into one?
Well, the result of this daydreaming is the Airborne Aircraft Carrier! This is a step above the simple boat most video games use to ferry the player around; it is a literal mobile floating fortress and airport, capable of raining Death from Above like few fictional Military Mashup Machines. At its most basic, it serves as a refueling station like an island in the sky; a carrier; add some guns to make it a combination battleship; and if you're into that sort of thing, robot transformations. A similar concept on a smaller scale is the usage of parasite aircraft piggybacking on larger ones, with latter being Drone Deployers— most of the Real Life examples are actually more like this than true "aircraft carriers".
As listed below, this one was attempted several times in real life. The best-known examples have been airships, which are also the only thing stable enough to link with the planes, not to mention have the lift and size necessary to house internal aircraft hangars, making them inherently suited for these sort of operations. Large airplanes (generally modified bombers, which have doors in the bottom that smaller planes can be launched through) have also been used. However, returning the aircraft to the mothership has proven too difficult in earlier tests of the concept for it to be considered practical, often resulting in the deaths of test pilots that tried and/or damage to both airplanes. And even when we managed to get the deployment and recovery issue figured out, storage turned out to be an even bigger challenge. The Goblin, for example, had to be ridiculously squat in order to fit inside a bomber plane, making it largely useless as a fighter. However, the Soviet Union got the idea to work,◊ and became the only country to actually use parasite aircraft in combat.
If it's a Living Ship, it's probably also a Living Gasbag, since flapping wings would be awkward on something this size. Compare to The Battlestar, which is this with heavy armament of its own and IN SPACE! Occasionally part of a Standard Sci-Fi Fleet.

Ultraman Gaia features the Aerial Base as the heroes' headquarters, which serves both as a flying aircraft carrier and a battleship. According to the show's designers, the Aerial Base is an homage to Bioman's BioDragon and especially to Captain Scarlet's Cloudbase.

Star Fox 64 also has the Saruzin, the flagship of Andross' fleet in Sector Y, which transports the Shogun Warlord mecha-suit into the boss battle. It continues moving until it reaches the center of the boss arena, then stop as serves as an obstacle/platform for the boss to stand on. Strangely, it has no offensive capabilities of its own.

The opening of Sonic Unleashed features a whole fleet of these similar to the Heroes example, only they're in space. Sonic still has no trouble destroying them, despite the lack of air. The first boss, the Egg Cauldron, is a less exotic example.

In one of Sluggy Freelance cross-dimension stories, humans have some of those, as seen here. Their usage is justified because the "zombies" cannot fly and staying in the air or space is the only real safe point to be, along with sheer practicality of a mobile base.

Cobra had two different Helicarriers in G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. One was based off an unused design for the SHIELD Helicarrier from an abortive Nick Fury cartoon. It appeared in the first mini-series and in the opening animation of GI JOE: The Movie (possibly two different carriers as the one in the mini was captured). The second type appeared only in the opening animation for the second mini-series and subsequent episodes. It looked like a giant cobra insignia. It is destroyed by the end of the opening animation.

Caprica features these in a virtual manner. In the show there is a "Virtual Reality" video game called New Cap City that is Grand Theft Auto meets Sin City in a historical sim. One of the more persistent threats in the game world are giant Zepplins that launch everything from early-model Vipers to Gyrocopters, all raining Death from Above. One might even go so far as to call them an Airship Galactica.

The Great Fox in Star Fox is a rather moderately sized version of this, holding only about six vehicles at most. In one mission in Star Fox 64, you can even enter it for repairs. Some bosses are also able of launching smaller ships aswell as missiles, such as the Assault Carrier.

In the Discworld fics of A.A. Pessimal, the research witches Olga Romanoff and Irena Politek, the nearest thing Ankh-Morpork has to a combat air force in the event of elven incursions or Klatchian invasions, speculate on getting round the Lancre Problemnote  As described in Wyrd Sisters, the practical limitation on the amount of magic a single broomstick can carry, this limiting its range by having a really large flying carpet up there that can act as a flying platform for broomsticks and conventional smaller carpets. The satellite flyers could leave the mother ship on missions then fly back and refuel on fresh magic.
Indeed, this is done right at the birth of the Pegasus Service, in the tale Clowning Is A Serious Business. At this point, it has not been realised that attendent Feegle can craw-step a witch and her Pegasus anywhere in the Discworld within minutes of leaving Ankh-Morpork. Vetinari wants his two Pegasus pilots to make a series of impressive entrances over Ãœberwald and convey his personal thoughts in the most spectacular way possible. As Ankh-Morpork and Klatch are in full agreement that war in Far Ãœberwald is bad for everybody and could destabilise the whole Disc, a very large, fast, Klatchian flying carpet is used as what Olga Romanoff describes as "a flying horsebox" to get them there within a day.

Ace Combat X has the cousin to the Hresvelgr, the Gleipnir and its prototype, the Gandr. Still unable to carry aircraft like their cousin, they are able to compensate by having the ability to turn invisible. Their firepower is nothing to scoff at either, carrying devastatingly powerful Shockwave Ballistic Missiles that can instantly swat other aircraft out of the sky; the Gleipnir also carries the Shock Cannon, a cyclotronic particle accelerator that fires a meson blast to set off the same kind of explosion SWBMs cause, pulverizing everything that happens to be below the Gleipnir at the time.

In Final Fantasy XII, the Bahamut as well as the heavy carrier class airships (such as the Leviathan) use these as well. The Bahamut deploys Valefor-class fighters as a means of offense against Resistance forces while the Mist cannon is charging, and heavy cruisers often deploy, among other things, Atomos-class transport ships, as well as the aforementioned Valefor-class on the Archadian side, unnamed fighters on the Resistance side.

The Ace Combat arcade-style flight simulator series has a long tradition of featuring various types of superweapons. One of said types being an airborne aircraft carrier. Although the In-Universe term is actually "Heavy Command Cruiser".
The UI-4053 Sphyrna from Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere serves as the first example of this. Despite being deployed many decades after other examples below, the Sphyrna is a blimp and correspondingly, it is relatively tiny in comparison. That being said, it is just as hard to bring down, and while its small size doesn't seem to hold many aircraft, it holds two of the most important: the ultra-agile UI-4054, an Ace Custom for Dision, and the island-sinking X-49 Night Raven sought after the game's unwitting Tyke-Bomb, Rena. The damn thing is so tough, most of the game's routes make you fight it in more than one mission until you can finally bring it down for good.
Before the Sphyrna was the Sky Fortress from Air Combat which is heavily armed, launches enemy aircraft at you and serves as the Final Boss. No hint of its existence is ever foreshadowed in the game aside from the name of the last mission which is "Air Fortress".
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation has the most triumphant example with Estovakia's P-1112 Aigaion, a jet propelled Airship with a Kilometer wingspan, which takes it a step further by having its own escort fleet of slightly smaller airships for both Anti-Air defense (Gyges) and Electronic Warfare (Kottos). At the start of the mission where you have to shoot it down, it's seen undergoing mid-air refuelling by no less than six tanker aircraft◊, each of which looks small enough to be sucked into Aigaion's humongous air intakes for its gigantic engine arrays. The Aigaion primarily operates as a carrier and is usually home to the enemy Ace Pilot squadron, Strigon team. In addition, she is also a flying missile launch complex, able to project her overwhelming firepower over very long distances utilizing the powerful Nimbus cruise missiles, in addition to an assortment of other missiles and guns for self defense. Of course, when push comes to shove, her Captain doesn't hesitate in spamming said cruise missiles on you, even at extreme close range.
The Belkan XB-0 Hresvelgr from Ace Combat Zero is a super-massive bomber Airship. Although it was not yet able to carry and launch aircraft, the series mythology states that the technology used was eventually evolved and perfected over the course of two decades to create the Heavy Command Cruisers utilized by other countries such as the Aigaion, making the Hresvelgr a forerunner of sorts. To hammer the point home, the man who designed both aircraft, a Belkan ace from Zero, shows up as an enemy ace during the mission where you have to destroy the Aigaion in 6.
Ace Combat X has the cousin to the Hresvelgr, the Gleipnir and its prototype, the Gandr. Still unable to carry aircraft like their cousin, they are able to compensate by having the ability to turn invisible. Their firepower is nothing to scoff at either, carrying devastatingly powerful Shockwave Ballistic Missiles that can instantly swat other aircraft out of the sky; the Gleipnir also carries the Shock Cannon, a cyclotronic particle accelerator that fires a meson blast to set off the same kind of explosion SWBMs cause, pulverizing everything that happens to be below the Gleipnir at the time.
For varying definitions of "aircraft carrier", Ace Combat 5 has the Arkbird, a gigantic blended wing body spacecraft capable of short atmospheric flights. The Arkbird can launch UAVs for self-defence, but was originally built for peaceful purposes until the escalation of war saw it increasingly militarized.
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has the Arsenal Bird, a massive propeller driven flying wing. Under its fuselage it carries a whopping 80 Attack Drones into combat for use in swarming enemy fighter aircraft.
The final mission of 7 also has the two Super Prototype Hugin and Munin UAVs which are able to deploy miniature UAVs to support them in battle.

World of Warcraft has the Lensman Arms Race between the Alliance and Horde create massive flying battleships during the invasion of Northrend. While the Horde ship had a BFG at the front, the Alliance one had a rather underwhelming bomb bay. During the Cataclysm expansion, several of the Horde airships were destroyed, while the Alliance ones got upgraded repeatedly; by the time of Mists of Pandaria, at least one of them, the Skyfire, gets an overhaul and a flight deck capable of launching multiple squadrons of gyrocopters. During the introduction quests in Pandaria, this clearly pays off as said gyrocopters destroy yet another Horde gunship, leaving their forces stranded for awhile while Alliance brings in reinforcements.

In the G.I. Joe (IDW)/Transformers: Generation 2 crossover from the early nineties, Slice (a ninja working for Cobra) comments that the Ark (the Autobots' starship) is bigger than an aircraft carrier, but still flying.

Exalted, as a world more or less fueled by Rule of Cool, unsurprisingly has a few. The Titan-Class Aerial Citadels, which took the technical prowess and truly epic infrastructure of 300 perfection-powered demigods several centuries to create, were entire floating cities. More or less indestructible, fitted with massive magical lasers, a beam of death that could vaporize a metropolis instantly AND serving as a launching point for many, many Thousand Forged Dragons (which were superweapons in and of themselves), having one of the four that were created attack your country would be rather like the entirety of the United States military force taking on your house.

The Silvana from Last Exile and every other major battleship in the anime, including the Urbanus, although their use of vanships (airplane analogues) is more akin to battleships and cruisers before WWII carrying seaplane scouts - Silvana was specifically built for vanship operations and using them as part of its offense and defense. The ships powered by antimatter, which they find lying around on the beaches. This makes sense in context.

In general, the Macross series featured many variations of this, from the original SDF-1 Macross itself (which was also huge enough to contain a whole city inside), the "Battle-class" section of the New Macross-class ships presented in Macross 7 and Macross Frontier, the more compact-sized "Macross Quarter-class" also from Frontier, and the "Macross Elysion-class" from Macross Delta.

The Avengers (2012) features the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in all its glory. Captain America, fresh from the '40s, claims that nothing will surprise him. He's proven wrong when he sees it liftoff into the sky (and loses $10 in the process).
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, shows that S.H.I.E.L.D. is trying to extend its reach by launching three new helicarriers that Tony Stark fitted with his repulsor technology after his experiences in The Avengers. But it turns out HYDRA designed them to eliminate all possible dissidents and the Cap had to destroy them.
In Avengers: Age of Ultron, Nick Fury brings the old helicarrier out of retirement in time to evacuate the city Ultron levitated.

Skygnome-built versions of WWI-era fighter planes launch from the airstrip mounted along the edge of the city, kept aloft by fantasy physics, tactically supported by winged centaurs and venom-clawed monkeys, and occasionally imperiled by gremlin saboteurs.

The Scrin Planetary Assault Carrier from Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars should count, though in its case its literally nothing more than an engine, a control system, and a long, narrow span connecting the two that is lines with dozens of drone fighters that swarm over anything they see. Powerful enough that it can challenge the other Tiberium Wars Game-Breaker, the GDI Mammoth Tank.
It actually has a rather good attack of its own, but most people overlook it. The thing can create an Ion Storm around it, giving it an immediate-area attack field. The storm also buffs up any other Scrin aircraft around it. The Mammoth stands no chance.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) has the USS Argo, a massive flying fortress that serves as a mobile headquarters for Monarch. She is capable of carrying a complement of multiple V-22 Ospreys that can be used to both deploy troops and conduct evacuations. In addition, she also boasts an impressive array of weapons, and while they may not be enough to kill any of the Kaiju, they still hurt enough to at least get their attention.

The Gekko from Eureka Seven, as well as the military carriers like the Izumo and several other vessels. This is one of the few media in which doing so made sense beyond the Rule of Cool, because the surface has no oceans and the land is extremely craggy and prone to shifting and the planet releases convenient particles called trapar that keep them airborne, so they only need fuel to move forward. Curiously though, their speed is usually very low, only around one or two hundred kilometers. Even their small high speed ships go only 500 or so kilometers an hour.

Castle in the Sky: The Goliath and the Tiger Moth. The Tiger Moth technically fits the trope better, as it relies solely on its smaller aircrafts for combat, whereas the Goliath is not shown to carry fighters, but fits the classic image of the trope better, as it has enough guns and infantry on board to invade a small country (or ancient airborne city state).

Mystara has the Flying City of Serraine, a mobile airborne city-state with its own Magitek air force, the Top Ballista squadrons. Skygnome-built versions of WWI-era fighter planes launch from the airstrip mounted along the edge of the city, kept aloft by fantasy physics, tactically supported by winged centaurs and venom-clawed monkeys, and occasionally imperiled by gremlin saboteurs. Yep, Mystara is a weird freaking' place.

It's armed with missile launchers, a fleet of robotic jet fighters, laser cannons (tons of these damn things in Sky Deck), robot staff, transformation capabilities, and to top it all off, a Wave-Motion Gun.

Gundam loves this trope, almost every Gundam show/manga features a Sky carrier, (Usually, but not limited to the 'Main' protagonist's ship) which often times doubles as a space ship, a sea ship, and in some cases, even a submarine. And is often times a fusion of Aircraft Carriers and Battleships (because Anime producers will never let the era of the battleship end).
The Gaw and and Garuda class ships from the Mobile Suit Gundam. The White Base itself counts when operating on Earth.
Same goes for the Argama in Zeta Gundam.
And the Endra class in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ.
Gundam 00's Ptolemaios II is all of the above - in an early episode of season two it dives from orbit down into the ocean.

It was heavily armour-plated and its capabilities included tornadoes from its underside, spike missiles from the carapace, mouth flamethrower, freezing wind from front and side mouths, launch-able front and side heads, fangs strong enough to break a Made of Indestructium Humongous Mecha, and laser beam bolts from all four heads.

The UI-4053 Sphyrna from Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere serves as the first example of this. Despite being deployed many decades after other examples below, the Sphyrna is a blimp and correspondingly, it is relatively tiny in comparison. That being said, it is just as hard to bring down, and while its small size doesn't seem to hold many aircraft, it holds two of the most important: the ultra-agile UI-4054, an Ace Custom for Dision, and the island-sinking X-49 Night Raven sought after the game's unwitting Tyke-Bomb, Rena. The damn thing is so tough, most of the game's routes make you fight it in more than one mission until you can finally bring it down for good.

The Aeromarine, belonging to SHIELD knock-off/parody organization HATE in Nextwave, probably counts as well, despite appearing to be an airborne submarine. In fact, dozens of submarines welded together. We've yet to determine whether this is cool or not, it could frankly go either way.

The OSI from The Venture Bros. have a mobile fortress called the Hoverquarters which is very much like the SHIELD Hellicarrier making sense since the Venture's OSI is a parody of SHIELD.
The OSI's opposite number SPHYNX, itself a parody of the aforementioned Cobra, had their own hovercarrier in the shape of, well, a sphynx. In an homage to the GI Joe opening mentioned above, the fortress is downed in a rather over the top battle that ended the organization's threat, only to be later adopted by Colonel Gathers when he went rogue and restarted SPHYNX as an alternative to OSI. Sky Pilot mentions the thing is like trying to fly a winnebago.

The Avalon in Code Geass and several other ships, most notably the Ikaruga which was initially a submarine.
The Submarine and the Ikaruga are actually two separate ships, despite the common misconception. The Ikaruga, rather, is actually built from scratch with the Gawain's weapons tacked on.
That said, the Ikaruga does have a submersible mode.
Hey, the Damocles counts too! Even though it's shaped like a huge anchor. And is loaded to the brim with FLEIJA warheads.

The Belkan XB-0 Hresvelgr from Ace Combat Zero is a super-massive bomber Airship. Although it was not yet able to carry and launch aircraft, the series mythology states that the technology used was eventually evolved and perfected over the course of two decades to create the Heavy Command Cruisers utilized by other countries such as the Aigaion, making the Hresvelgr a forerunner of sorts. To hammer the point home, the man who designed both aircraft, a Belkan ace from Zero, shows up as an enemy ace during the mission where you have to destroy the Aigaion in 6.

The Robot Romance Trilogy:
Combattler V: Several of them: Graydon's was The Dragon Garuda's personal aircraft, and its specs included slave monster production, missiles from its top, levitation even underwater, an underside tractor beam, teleportation, a buzzsaw hidden in one of six wings, and a pink heat ray; Bromber, Warchamides' attack saucer it had capability to levitate even underwater, an underside tractor beam, yellow eye lasers, and missile launchers at the midsection; and Santomagma, Big Bad Empress Janera's warship used in the final episode. It was heavily armour-plated and its capabilities included tornadoes from its underside, spike missiles from the carapace, mouth flamethrower, freezing wind from front and side mouths, launch-able front and side heads, fangs strong enough to break a Made of Indestructium Humongous Mecha, and laser beam bolts from all four heads.
Voltes V: Boazanian Flagships, Zeltan and Sugoshin Godor, all of them equipped with formidable weapons and even Deflector Shields.
Daimos: Guranrol and Cobrard. Both could carry around combat troops and several Mecha Soldiers. The first was equipped with giant missiles and four giant blades that could be turned in giant spinning cutters. The second was equipped with four-headed cobras that fired green lasers and a turret shot tinier missiles.

In Sonic the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman loves building these.
The last level of Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit), Sky Base Zone, is the franchise's first example of the trope.
It started showing up in the 16-bit games with Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Wing Fortress Zone.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles featured Flying Battery Zone as the second level of the expansion.
The massive Egg Carrier from Sonic Adventure. It's also the first one whose abilities other than flying and being really big are shown. It's armed with missile launchers, a fleet of robotic jet fighters, laser cannons (tons of these damn things in Sky Deck), robot staff, transformation capabilities, and to top it all off, a Wave-Motion Gun. He has a second one in reserve, even.
In Sonic Heroes, he really ups the ante with an entire fleet, with the flagship being at least as twice as big as the original Egg Carrier, and twice as armed.
Altitude Limit Zone from the first Sonic Rush game would be an example if it had some actual structure and was more than a flying rail system. It still has plenty of aircraft, though.
In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Eggman uses a redesign of Adventure's Egg Carrier. It's mostly seen in cutscenes, and there aren't any levels on board, although Sonic's final boss is fought on it.
The opening of Sonic Unleashed features a whole fleet of these similar to the Heroes example, only they're in space. Sonic still has no trouble destroying them, despite the lack of air. The first boss, the Egg Cauldron, is a less exotic example.
In Sonic Generations, another one of these is seen terrorizing Spagonia. If you're really skilled, you can even destroy it on foot.
Sky Fortress Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II is very heavily based on the aforementioned Wing Fortress Zone (acts 2 and 3) and the level immediately before it, Sky Chase Zone (act 1 and the boss). It also contains elements of Flying Battery Zone.

Super Sentai:
The Black Cross Castle from Himitsu Sentai Gorenger is a massive cross-shaped flying fortress that can carry smaller aircraft called Battlers. The Battlers themselves are also large enough to carry inside them a squad of four very small aircrafts called Condolers. Another massive fortress called the Navarone normally travels underground but can also fly, though mainly as a method of quickly retreating, and carries Condolers as well. In the second half of the show the Gorangers us an aircraft called the Varidorin that is able to carry both a tank and small airship inside it at once.
The Biodragon from Choudenshi Bioman, a large aircraft which opens to launch Biojet 1 & 2, which form the BioRobo.
This trope was extensively used in various Super Sentai from Battle Fever J to Choujuu Sentai Liveman. There was always a giant airship whose only purpose was to deliver the robots from the base to the battlefield in Stock Footage. Apparently, the robots after Liveman get better gas mileage, able to deploy from the base on their own.

Have cropped up now and then in Warhammer 40,000 fluff, such as in the Gaunt's Ghosts book "The Guns of Tanith".
Tyranid Harridans are a biological version, carrying large numbers of smaller gargoyles over long distances.
Tau Manta Missile Destroyers are a Downplayed version of this, in that they are more like Airborn Amphibious Assault Carriers. Rather than launching aircraft, they deploy Hover Tanks, both in gunship and Awesome Personnel Carrier varieties, able to deploy an entire ground detachment in a low pass over the ground. Its heavy armaments additionally put it into the "Little Sibling Battlestar" subtype.

For StarCraft 2, the Terrans were going to have an upgrade for the Starport called the Starbase, which was basically a permanently flying Starport that could still create all their air units. Sadly, the building was cut from the final build of the game.

The Protoss in StarCraft have Carriers, which can maintain a fleet of Interceptor ships which are used to attack both ground and air units. The Carriers, however, break the pattern ever so slightly by only launching minuscule unmanned ships, visibly smaller than a single-man fighter.
Then again, since a motorbike is longer than a fighter, and a tank is about half as long as a battlecruiser in-game, we should really not judge sizes by the unit models.

Terran Battlecruisers are often treated as this in the novels. In Heart of the Swarm, the Hyperion has "Tac Fighters"-small fighters that it constructs, and act similar to the Carriers' interceptors: fly out, shoot targets, return to base, and attack again. Unlike the interceptors, audio dialogue indicates they're manned.

Doctor Who: The UNIT carrier Valiant, introduced in "The Sound of Drums", is large enough for Air Force One to land on it — in comparison, real world aircraft carriers barely have enough clearance for their fighters to land safely, with carrier landings being described as "controlled crashes". It also mounts a giant laser cannon that helped UNIT fend off against the Sontarans. Also of note is that it was designed by Harold Saxon, a.k.a. The Master, who was able to get around any impracticalities due to being a Time Lord with knowledge of super-advanced alien technology. Sad to say, for all its awesomeness, it was not up to fending off a full-scale Dalek attack in "The Stolen Earth", and was destroyed.

The Saint Nazaire and its sistership Calisto from the CGI animated series Skyland. Each ship houses a group of 10 small fighter aircraft called Mosquitos. Their opponents, an organisation called The Sphere, also uses a weird kind of airborne aircraft carrier. It is a huge vertical mothership called The Monolith, which holds a large amount of fighter aircraft and troops. And if you think that's all, The Sphere's home base is a truly enormous cubic shaped flying fortress that even dwarfs The Monolith.

Child of the Storm has the SHIELD Helicarrier, which true to form crashes in the Hudson Bay thanks to HYDRA (who actually intended for pieces of it to rain down on New York, something which only failed because the Winter Soldier sabotaged his sabotage), and only fails to sink thanks to the efforts of Rhodey and Namor.
HYDRA's own helicarrier is a colossal Vibranium hulled and Destroyer armed behemoth called the Dreadnought. And it can teleport anywhere in the world. The head of HYDRA, Lucius Malfoy specifically invokes the Meaningful Name aspect, remarking that he's informed that the original Dreadnought rendered every battle ship in the world obsolete (which it did) and so has this one. It lives up to the rep by shrugging off just about everything thrown at it, from several hundred tons of burning, decomposing giant (believe it or not, it does actually make sense in context), to Mjolnir. Then Magneto happened.
Britain, meanwhile, has the Valiant, which takes a while to get out of dry dock, but does so in time to make a Dynamic Entry over Hogwarts as a Declaration of Protection. It turns out to have the Dreadnought's vibranium armour, re-purposed and improved, thanks to which it's capable of going toe to toe with a planet-killing dragon. Jokes are made about it having the same name as another fictional helicarrier - in this case, one that's fictional in-universe too.

Deadpool (2016) featured a Mythology Gag and Shout-Out to The Avengers with the climactic fight scene taking place on and around a derelict helicarrier. It never flew, and for legal reasons it couldn't be called a helicarrier — the agreement was that the concept of the Helicarrier itself was owned by Marvel Studios, but the general idea of a flying aircraft carrier was not.

In Sky Rogue, you take off from a carrier held up by four prominent thrusters at the start of every mission, and return to it to finish your mission after destroying all mission objectives. You can also land on it mid-mission to replenish special weapon ammo and to repair your Aero's hull, but any landings after the first one in each mission will cost you scrap.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has the Arsenal Bird, a massive propeller driven flying wing. Under its fuselage it carries a whopping 80 Attack Drones into combat for use in swarming enemy fighter aircraft.
The final mission of 7 also has the two Super Prototype Hugin and Munin UAVs which are able to deploy miniature UAVs to support them in battle.

Avatar: The Way of Water features the Sea Dragon, a downplayed example of both "aircraft carrier" and "airborne" — it's a ground-effect plane (eg. it can only fly just above the water) that can deploy hydrofoils and spends most of its screentime in that mode, and that carries relatively small VTOL craft (and also boats and small one-man submarines).
