COVID-19: A Message from the President of the Aviation Week Network

How Can We Help You Navigate, Recover and Grow?

The daunting challenges that currently face humanity will leave an indelible mark, but there will come a point when the COVID-19 crisis begins to fade and we adjust to life in the aftermath of this pandemic.

The Aviation Week Network has helped to keep our industry abreast of global developments during every major crisis since we launched the first edition of Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering on 1 August 1916, in the middle of the First World War.

And today — more than at any point in our history — the Aviation Week Network is uniquely positioned to help the world's aviation community make sense of seemingly overwhelming challenges.

Recent additions of CAPA, ASM and Routes to our team mean that we have the entire information spectrum covered in all regions: from daily news to detailed analysis from the industry's most experienced and connected team of experts, a unique portfolio of data and forecasts and all forms of face-to-face and digital events. The Aviation Week Network can help the industry through the coming weeks and months supporting situational awareness, critical decision making and, ultimately, a return to growth.

We are committed to action and are introducing more robust ways for you to know, predict and connect as we all navigate the crisis and position for the future.

Know. Predict. Connect.

The first step has been about situational awareness as the crisis unfolds and morphs every day around the world:

  • So far, our global team of aerospace journalists and analysts have produced more than 4,000 articles, podcasts and news briefs covering the crisis, diving deep to help each of our customer communities: Air Transport, Defense & Space, Aerospace, Business Aviation and MRO.

  • We have launched a curated landing page to help you navigate that content across our portfolio along with the first of an expert-webinar series to share predictions, advice, viewpoints and best practices.

At the same time we are ramping up our analytical and forward-looking intelligence and data. Finally, we are pursuing innovative ways to re-establish buyer-seller relationships in the absence of face-to-face platforms across the aviation community.

There is much, much more to come. Is it helpful? What can we do better? I'd love to hear from you.

As a recent Aviation Week editorial said, "This is without doubt the greatest crisis aviation has faced since the dawn of the commercial jet age more than six decades ago... The coming days will be dark, but rest assured the industry will recover and once again prosper." The Aviation Week Network is proud to stand alongside our partners during this unprecedented period of challenge, helping to keep the market informed and focused on a bright future.

I'll keep you up-to-date on new initiatives in this letter in the coming weeks.

Greg Hamilton,
President, Aviation Week Network
