AIN Media Group has completed its acquisition of Leeham News and Analysis (LNA), adding the premier source for in-depth aerospace and airline industry insights to its portfolio. The transaction—announced at the Paris Air Show on June 17—closed today.
LNA’s team of experienced editors, writers, and analysts will continue to provide coverage of topics, including airframe and engine manufacturers, the aerospace supply chain, airline fleet planning, future technology, and maintenance, repair, and overhaul. This team is led by Scott Hamilton, founder and managing director of the Leeham company, and aeronautical and economics analyst Bjorn Fehrm.
Subscribers to the LNA platform, which includes C-suite industry leaders, will continue to enjoy exclusive access to its expert coverage of the air transport and aerospace sectors. The LNA and AIN news teams will pursue opportunities to present some shared content, with a particular focus on AIN’s FutureFlight channel and weekly newsletter, highlighting aircraft technologies and new business models.
In addition to AINonline, AIN Media Group produces the daily AINalerts newsletter, monthly Aviation International News print magazine, and daily publications at multiple airshows and aviation conventions globally, and also publishes Business Jet Traveler. Its AircraftPost subsidiary provides fact-based insight, analysis, and statistics about business jets and their market values.
The Leeham Co. LLC and Leeham Consulting businesses remain independently owned and operated.
