Once upon a time an ex-easyJet network planner who was teaching at Cranfield University's Department of Air Transport decided to take all his great wealth of route planning skills and create a huge source of intelligence for the entire world to share – on-line.

anna.aero was born and has been published every week since July 2007. It provides the latest airport news and airline news analysis for use in the aviation business worldwide.

All our work is genuine original analysis produced and edited by real airline network planners – nothing is spoon fed to us, nor do we re-write press releases, dump in unchecked data sources, nor re-assemble dubious facts that you can find for yourself on Google.

We combine our real airline and airport route analysis with the very best in e-publishing expertise and cutting edge graphic design. A winning formula which delivers hard hitting sober facts in a clearly understood and even entertaining format.

With over 40,000 visitors per month to the anna.aero website and the anna.aero E-Newsletter sent to over 10,000 subscribed readers every week anna.aero has become the world's premier source for air route news and analysis.

The Route Shop as part of anna.aero is a virtual superstore where airports can market themselves and the routes they want to start to the airline route developers and network planners who use our site every day.

The Route Shop has over 100 airports stretching from Athens to Christchurch using the site to advertise to airline planners those routes they believe have the most potential – over 100 airports stocking an inventory of more than 1,030 routes!

And just like a true online superstore the merchandising is superb! Each airports profile and route inventory is carefully crafted and researched by anna.aero experts to maximise the efficiency of their profile and message, a low cost very high impact location to ensure an airports potential is seen by the airline route development decision makers of the world.
