A Shared Cause

A Shared Cause

These are heady days in aviation. Industry conditions remind me of 2000 and early 2001, when new passenger records were being set every month. Thank goodness business is good once again. Airlines are reporting jaw-dropping profits (must be a lot of checked baggage), recent statistics from Airports Council International show year-to-date increases that we haven't seen in awhile, and advertisers have made this issue of Airport Improvement our largest ever.

If you've been around aviation long enough to remember 2000 and 2001, you probably agree that airports and airlines today look much different than they did back then. Ancillary fees have saved many carriers, 9/11 turned airport security and concessions upside down, and the sources and sizes of airport revenues have changed dramatically. So it goes with airport publishing. Our industry has changed significantly as well.

Social media is something we all share in common. While most of our readers still choose to read printed issues of the magazine, social media has become a bigger part of how we communicate every day. Today, we are in an even better position to learn and share what's taking place with airports, government agencies, consultants and suppliers.

We're even finding more of our story ideas via social media, which presents a wonderful opportunity for you. To make sure your airport or firm is part of the dialogue:
  • Check out the "Stay Connected" box on our home page;
  • "Like" our page on Facebook; (https://www.facebook.com/airportimprovementmagazine);
  • Follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/airportimprove); and
  • Connect with us via LinkedIn

We would like to follow you as well! Please send us an email at paulbowers@airportimprovement.com with your Facebook page and Twitter handle, so we can return the favor. 

Also, we'll be at ACI-NA and SWIFT this month; hope to see you there!

Cheers,
