Selected
air distance/separation/path, creepage distance/separation/path
The German definitions of the terms are given in the first ref, the English in the second. However, if you doo a search on 'creepage + air + insulation", you'll see that there is a certain amount of variation in the English terms

Comment: "I think I will stick to your proposal as the actual context is not really clear. Thank you for your support."

Clearance & leakage distance
Luftstrecke = clearance
Kriechstrecke = creeping distance, tracking distance, leakage distance (with an isolator); creep path, leakage current path
Sorry I can't give any explanations. Without the benefit of more context than a table of contents, it's tough to know which term they mean, although any of the above should be okay.

creeping distance (coil/contact)
Google gives you a great number of hits if you search for "Luft- und Kriechstrecke"
This way you can get some general information on the subject.
As for the English term I recommend the following web site, which could possibly look similar to the text you are translating:

creepage/creep distance and clearance
Check out the following web sites concerning creepage/creep distance:
... BHT Connector, Connectors designed for connecting LCD display backlight lamps to their starters (with good creepage distance on the output line) ...
(http://www.jst-mfg.com/b00new/BHTe.html)
... frequency flashover voltage (KV), Minimum bending failing load (KH), Minimum nominal creepage distance (mm), Number of shed of insulator (PCS), Main dimensions (mm ...
(http://www.cqmec.com/porcelain.htm)
The creep distance and the connector cross sections allow high-power switching (up to 2500 VA). The board can be mounted on a standard DIN-rail and can be cascaded in 16, 24 and 23 relays.

For "Luftstrecke" the EurodicAutom offered "clearance".
You can also find this term on a couple of web sites, e.g.:
