A List of our Aviation Twitter Feeds

We’re associated with a large number of Twitter accounts that are fed by the data we aggregate on this website, and we have others that are populated by unpublished archived data sources. Generally speaking, these accounts will stream the most comprehensive and indiscriminate information relating to a certain aviation subject matter. We don’t actively promote (or necessarily monitor) the accounts so it’s only when an influential user promotes them that they attract any sort of serious followership. You can view our managed Twitter accounts here. Continue reading

Changes to News Categories and Linked Twitter Accounts

Aviation NewsWhen NewsAviation.com was originally built, it wasn’t done with longevity or scalability in mind. Thankfully, a sound data structure was employed meaning that it was only the front-end that would eventually require a facelift. Short of designing a new website (which will come in time), we’ve recently made certain changes that should enhance the user experience and provide a platform that we can use to deliver more content without a complete overhaul.

We’ve added a lot more news! You’ll find an additional 10 airlines indexed… and we’ve added plenty of additional general categories, as well as brand new categories covering an entirely new mix of subject matter. In all, 35 categories were added. Some categories, such as Continue reading

Aviation Podcast Syndication

When we started Flight Podcast, I found it both uplifting and somewhat reassuring that certain tribes within the podcast community immediately befriended us and promoted us to their listeners. We’ve since established great relationships with certain podcasters… and I don’t think a single week has passed where I haven’t had some sort of contact with one program or another.

After a number of discussions with other podcasters, we quickly identified a need to facilitate communication and provide a platform for community-based projects. Various other people have provided excellent websites to display and promote podcasts but they haven’t facilitated the interactive functionality that the community requires. That’s where we come in.

Avalon Airshow Media Website Closing Down until 2013

During the 2011 Avalon International Airshow we compiled the most comprehensive repository of audio, video and other media of any organisation present at the expo. Rather than compile regular podcasts (which was the very early and rather short-sighted initial plan), we teamed with a group of media professionals that collectively recorded over 700 hours of content for distribution and dissemination through aviation and traditional media channels. The daily content was made available for use or purchase with an exclusive licence at AvalonAirshow.com. Continue reading

Welcome to the News Aviation Blog

Welcome to the News Aviation blog. Given the rise of the popularity of this website over the last year of so, I’m more than just a little embarrassed to admit that the resource has gone without a blog since we launched in 2008.

When I initially built NewsAviation.com back in May, 2008, it was done so for two reasons. First, it gave me the ability to filter what information I read about, and the site presented the information in a manner that I could personally control. Initially, I thought of it as a personal RSS emulator because all it really did was parse about 50 feeds associated with the blogs I read most often. Like everything I do, I made it public on the chance others might find it useful. Second, I had just taken an airline job that effectively cut my income by over 70% and – like anything on the web – there was the potential to monetize the project. Continue reading
