What AeroTime does

AeroTime is a global digital aviation news platform that publishes industry news, insights, and analysis targeting aviation professionals — including C-level executives, decision makers, pilots, cabin crew, and engineers. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, the platform operates under UAB AviationCV.com and is a media subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI provider with a 220+ aircraft fleet. Editorial coverage spans civil aviation, defense, aviation safety, business aviation, sustainability, aviation technology, space, aviation economics, and aviation history, with named journalists producing original reporting under a formal Code of Ethics centered on accuracy, impartiality, fairness, and public accountability.

The product portfolio is anchored by the AeroTime News web portal (aerotime.aero) and extends into a Daily Newsletter reaching 100,000+ subscribers, a premium AeroTime Insights newsletter, an AeroTime Video multimedia section, an Aviation Events directory, the AviationCV Jobs recruitment platform, and a suite of advertising products including banner advertisements and advertorials. The technology stack is a conventional digital publishing platform with web-based content delivery and social login integrations (Google, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn), operating under GDPR and Republic of Lithuania data-protection compliance.

AeroTime monetizes primarily through digital advertising — including display, native, and sponsored editorial content sold on a quote-based, multi-year contract basis — supplemented by newsletter subscription engagement and the integrated AviationCV Jobs recruitment platform. The company reaches 3M+ monthly unique visitors, 5M+ monthly page views, 300K+ social media followers, and 25M+ social media reach, positioning it as one of the larger independent B2B aviation media properties globally. Within the Avia Solutions Group ecosystem, AeroTime functions as a brand-building and corporate-communications asset as well as a revenue-generating media business.
