This rule was actually changed from the way it was in Revised in order to prevent air units from getting an extra movement. In Revised, when a carrier was mobilized fighters were allowed to be moved from the territory containing the IC onto the carrier. Under that rule, a fighter could move from New South Wales and attack Japanese-held Western Australia, then fly back to New South Wales in noncombat movement, then be moved onto a new carrier in sea zone 62 in the Mobilize New Units phase, resulting in five spaces of movement.
Moving air units into an empty sz to preempt a sramble

I’m confused whether you may move air units into an empty seazone during combat movement to preempt a sramble. Suppose you want to attack an island with some transports and DDs, but you are afraid those ships will get sunk if the opponent scrambles. It would be handy to move the planes into the sea zone, but is this allowed - after all, the seazone could be considered neutral (thereby prohibiting a movement during the combat phase)? Thanks in advance.

Yes, it’s allowed.
