Airports International

Airports International was the very first magazine dedicated to the airport industry, making its debut in June 1968. Over the past forty years, the magazine has adapted alongside the industry, including the introduction of Airports International Online, which you are currently viewing. The online content is distinct from the printed version, allowing for a greater variety of editorial material. Additionally, the online platform features an extensive directory of aviation industry manufacturers and suppliers from around the world. I am confident that both the magazine and its online counterpart will keep evolving in step with industry advancements.
