Australian Aviation is a popular aviation-related magazine that has been sold in Australia and New Zealand since 1977.
History
Founded by Jim Thorn in 1977, the magazine is based in Fyshwick in the Australian Capital Territory.
Gerard Frawley is the current editor.[1] Frawley became Managing Editor in March 2005, after he (and business partners Lee-Anne Simm and Andrew McLaughlin) formed Phantom Media Pty Ltd to purchase Australian Aviation from Jim Thorn.[1]
The magazine today
The magazine is currently Australia's largest selling aviation magazine by volume.[2]
The magazine publishes eleven editions a year (January/February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December).[2]
It covers a wide range of aviation-related areas, from civil aviation to defence, safety, airlines, airports, as well as aircraft reviews. As of the November 2008 edition, the format of the magazine has been face-lifted and re-designed, as well as increased in size to A4.
It is also available electronically.
