What every advertiser gets

  • One advertiser per slot Placements are served from our own site, not an ad network, and are never rotated or shared. For as long as you hold a slot, it is yours alone.
  • Artwork made for you Send a logo and what you want to say and the creative is built to match the site, so it does not look like a bought ad. Or supply your own to the specifications below.
  • Impressions and clicks reported A simple report at the end of every month, so you can judge whether to renew. Add your own tracking link or UTM tags and we will use them.
  • Editorially separate Advertising never influences what gets covered or how, and every placement is labelled. That independence is why readers trust the reporting your brand sits beside.
  • Refresh every quarter Change the creative up to four times a year at no extra cost, so a campaign can follow your calendar.
  • Aviation only Every reader came here for aviation. No wasted impressions on an audience that happened to pass by.

Who is on the other side of the page

This is a single-subject site. Nobody arrives at a live squawk board or an airline database by accident, which is why a focused audience is worth more than a large indifferent one.

Who advertises well here

  • Airlines and airports
  • Flight schools and training
  • Recruiters and employers
  • Aviation software and data
  • Flight-sim hardware and add-ons
  • Travel and loyalty brands
  • Cameras, optics and spotting kit
  • Airshows, museums and events
  • Publishers and models
  • Insurance and finance
  • Industry professionals Airline, airport and ground-handling staff, controllers, engineers and consultants who need to know what happened overnight.
  • Pilots and crew Commercial and private pilots and cabin crew who follow emergencies, diversions and safety reporting closely.
  • Students and careers People training for aviation careers, from flight school to engineering apprenticeships, researching airlines and employers.
  • Planespotters Enthusiasts who track registrations, fleets and liveries. They use the databases, the live map and Spotter daily.
  • Flight-sim enthusiasts A large, technically literate community that follows real-world operations, routes and aircraft types.
  • Frequent flyers Travellers who want to understand the headlines, from loyalty programme changes to why their flight diverted.

How booking works

  1. Get in touch Email with the placements, dates and any series you would like. Every enquiry gets a reply within two working days.
  2. Confirm We confirm availability and send a booking confirmation. Website slots are allocated first come, first served.
  3. Send artwork Website creative is needed three working days before go-live. Magazine bookings close on the 15th and artwork is due on the 20th of the month before publication.
  4. Go live and report Placements go live on the agreed date, and you receive a report of impressions and clicks at the end of each month.

Questions advertisers ask

Ask a question
What do you need from me to get started?

A logo, a link, and a sentence or two about what you want readers to do. The creative is then built to match the site and sent to you to approve before anything goes live. If you have finished artwork already, the specifications are above.

What kind of advertisers do you accept?

Anything genuinely relevant to aviation: airlines, airports, training providers, recruiters, tour operators, manufacturers, software, retailers, museums and events. Anything unrelated, misleading, or that would sit badly next to accident reporting will be turned down.

Can I book for less than a year?

Yes. Every placement has a monthly rate, and the annual rate is there for advertisers who want to hold a slot for the year and save two months. Series discounts of 10, 15 and 20 per cent apply to bookings of three, six and twelve consecutive months.

What does sponsoring a tracker actually look like?

A "presented by" credit with your logo on the tool itself, where readers spend minutes rather than seconds, plus the credits described on the rate card. Sponsorship never changes what the tracker shows or how emergencies are reported.

Can I combine the website with the magazine, newsletter and social?

Yes, and the three packages are built to do exactly that. Any mix of placements can also be quoted on its own, under one booking and one invoice. The Aero Insight rate card is in the media pack.

Will my advert affect what you write about?

No. Advertising and editorial are kept entirely separate, and that is not negotiable. If your airline has an incident, it will be reported exactly as any other would be. Sponsored content is always labelled as such.

How will I know it is working?

You receive a report of impressions and clicks for each placement at the end of every month. Use your own tracking link or UTM tags and you can follow readers through to your site as well.

How do I pay?

By invoice, payable by bank transfer. An invoice is raised once the placement and artwork are agreed, and the creative goes live when it is settled. Prices are in pounds sterling and exclude VAT where applicable.

Tell us who you are and which placement interests you, and you will get honest advice on whether this audience is right for you. If it is not, you will be told that too.
