Australian Aviation is an online and print aviation publication which has been owned by Momentum Media since 2020. Established in 1977, for almost 30 years the brand produced a printed publication.
History
Founded by Jim Thorn in 1977, Australian Aviation was established as Australian Aviation & Defence Review. The magazine was printed quarterly in 1979, and became monthly in 1990,[1] and maintained regular monthly publication until 2019.
Gerard Frawley succeeded Thorn as managing editor of the magazine in March 2005 [2] after Phantom Media Pty Ltd purchased Australian Aviation. In 2018 the publication was acquired by Aviator Media and Australian Aviation fell under the editorial guidance of Steve Gibbons.[3] Australian Aviation was subsequently purchased by Momentum Media in 2020[citation needed]. Phillip Tarrant is the current editor[citation needed].
Current Publication
Australian Aviation is available online as well as in print. In 2020 the print distribution was reduced from bi-monthly to four times per year and covers a wide range of aviation-related areas, from civil aviation to defence, safety, airlines, airports, as well as general aviation and aircraft review[citation needed].
