AAAE’S o. NRATED1 PRODUCT AAAE DELIVERS FOR AIRPORT EXECUTIVES print i online i digital i mobile 2015 advertising opportunity guide • AAAE’s number one rated product 2015 EDITORIAL MISSION READ AT 850 To Our Aviation Industry Friends: AIRPORTS It is summer 2014 as I write this, and we are barely halfway through the year. Yet, we already are planning actively for 2015, working to anticipate the topics that will be important, helpful and timely to all of you next year. We are helped in this endeavor by the active involvement of the Airport Magazine Editorial Advisory Board, which is made up of industry professionals who regularly give their time and insight to make AAAE’s magazine the best in the industry. I can’t thank them enough for sharing their experience and their valuable time to ensure that our magazine’s editorial content fulfills reader priorities. We truly have developed a worldwide audience for our magazine since we offer a full digital edition plus a free mobile app that you can enjoy on Apple, Android and Kindle Fire devices. Often, I will receive an email from an airport halfway around the world in response to the content in one of our articles. Airports in other countries truly are interested in what U.S. airports are doing and how they do it. Many of you have shared your lessons learned stories through our magazine, and we thank you for it. We invite airports with news/lessons learned/new ideas to share them through Airport Magazine as well. Airport Magazine’s mobile app also notifies you when the next issue is ready. Our magazine can be read as it is downloading, so no time is wasted. The issue can be downloaded to the device in advance of travel, and enjoyed later in airplane mode. In our app you discover the same caliber of content you’ve grown to expect, plus mobile-optimized text, embedded rich media, and social media connectivity. For example, you can enjoy an RSS feed from Twitter, which means that any time you revisit your app, you’ll receive current, relevant information. You also can share content with a friend, colleague, or network. Airport Magazine’s editorial purpose remains the same, however, which is to meet the day-to-day and long-range operational and planning requirements of our airport and corporate readers. As we prepare for 2015, Airport Magazine is developing articles that will address industry concerns about the state of the nation’s economy and its impact on air service; provide timely information on regulatory and legislative issues; fulfill the far-ranging needs of airports for training information; share the lessons airports have learned on subjects that include ARFF, technology, airfield and terminal improvements; and much more. We emphasize columns that add “how-to” value to readers — such as the Finance and Operations Columns. These articles put our readers in touch with new ideas that can be implemented at their own airports/companies. Our ambitious plans for 2015 would not be possible, however, without the faithful support of Airport Magazine’s advertisers. For 25 years, companies that advertise to the airport community have relied on Airport Magazine to deliver their message to this audience. We appreciate your trust, and we pledge to keep on earning it, year after year. Airport Magazine made important strides in 2014 to bring you useful information, and we welcome your comments and suggestions about future editorial content. All of us at Airport Magazine look forward to working with you in 2015 and beyond.

PRINT MEDIA: Print media continues to make a comeback and is a powerful and essential component of any advertising campaign. Below are some benefits that ONLY print media can provide: • A Tangible Item – A printed publication can be held in your hands and can stay in offices for months or years. • Builds Credibility – Print media gives a sense of legitimacy and protection unlike other forms of media. • Less Clutter – Printed magazines are less cluttered than other media. This makes your ad stand out more and can create a marketing advantage for your company. • Targeted Market – Trade publications that are aligned with industry groups can reach a targeted market that is more difficult to access for other media. • Invested Interest – Readers are more engaged in printed publications than in other media.
