As I understand it, it was a depot from which aircraft were issued to units. In the Gen.Qu. 6. Abt. losses there is at least one from Flugzeugschleuse Lfl. 6 for example.

The word literally means a sluice or a lock, so I think the analogy is for a place where something is held back to await a controlled release.
