SITA is unique in being owned by the community, with the SITA Board comprising shareholders and customers from across the air transport industry.
The benefits of .aero are many:
โข Reliable: .aero registry services are provided by Afilias which provides world-class technology supporting some of the largest generic TLDs such as, .org and .info
โข Unique: .aero defines its own policies designed to safeguard the integrity of the domain.
โข Exclusive: To registrer a .aero domain, you must obtain a .aero ID by passing a validity process which screens potential domain registrants to ensure that they are members of the aviation community. This screening helps to maintain the integrity and exclusivity of the .aero domain, whilst removing the potential of “cyber squatters” and domain name speculators.
โข Innovative: .aero is working to deliver Internet-based services built on aviation naming and coding structures.
โข Ease of use: Registration and use of .aero domains does not interfere with existing domain structures. This is important to air transport businesses with a well-established Internet presence via the company name and country domain name.
โAs the aviation industry continues to develop its online community, .aero is a great way for aviation companies to identify themselves as forward-thinking members of the industry,โ says Thomas Barrett, President of EnCirca. โ.aero is a reliable and innovative domain that will assist in the flow of communcation to customers and business partners.โ
