We investigate the dynamics of a chirped Airy pulse in a fiber under the action of third-order dispersion. We found an interesting phenomenon in which the pulse is focused and where the pulse profile changes slowly within a distance of several dispersion lengths, which is named a channel. The amplitude and the length of the channel depends on the chirp parameter. The underlying physical mechanism for this phenomenon is also discussed.
