I’m looking to get a receiver that covers the area between 118 and 162 MHz. Unfortunately all I have found so far with “Air Band receiver” goes to max 140 MHz.
Do they have a special name for those receivers?

Generically this is still called "VHF", though that also refers to Band II broadcast (aka FM) on 88-108 MHz, as well as air band, the 2m amateur band, and marine VHF (156-172 MHz).
What application are you thinking of that covers this range?
I would be searching for "VHF communications receivers".
It may be helpful to mention your geographic region. As far as I know, only the air band, the amateur 2m band, and the marine band are worldwide, there may be geographical limits on some other uses of these frequencies.
