The Air Current (TAC) is a subscription-based news and information service for the global aerospace and aviation industry. Our value proposition is based on both depth and exclusivity. Our focus is on reporting actionable, newsworthy intelligence and digging deeper into global strategic trends and their broader implications for global aviation and aerospace. TAC actively leverages deep relationships and extensive industry knowledge to provide a greater level of insight into the business of flying. TAC doesn’t seek to replicate or follow the reporting of other organizations nor does it aim to be a repository for the day’s news.

Is The Air Current a consultancy?
We are not a consultancy. We do not author individualized advisory reports for clients. However, as part of our model, we aim to have our writers accessible to our subscribers should they want to discuss a topic in greater depth, or are available for select compensated speaking engagements.

Does The Air Current have advertising?
The Air Current does not operate as an advertising-based model in order to provide a less-obtrusive experience to our readers. Our goal is not clicks, rather ensuring that each subscription generates deeper value as a way of sustainably supporting the growth of the publication.
