ICANN accredited Registrar Secura announces today, that Secura as registrar supports all steps, which SITA has made, in order to pre-register industrial codes of the aviation community as aero-domains. Eligible companies (airlines and airports) can now register the pre-registered domains at https://www.domainregistry.de/aero.html (English) or https://www.domainregistry.de/aero-domains.html (German).
SITA, the sponsor of .aero, has announced changes in domain registration policy. All domain names corresponding to airline and airport codes are active
Following the recommendation of the Dot Aero Council, SITA activated all domain names corresponding to airline and airport industry codes. All two character airline codes, all location codes allocated to municipal areas and airports and all three letter airline codes of IATA airlines have been pre-registered. These new domain names are now "active" and work as web sites until the time, the eligible airline and airports assume responsibility and control of their domain names.
Pre-registration and activation of domain names was introduced to make sure that complete sets of codes work and there are no gaps in the structure that would break the predictability. Once all recognized codes are present, a traveler or an industry professional can always receive a valid answer when using a recognized industry code in .aero. This is very good news for end-users, people as well as systems, because they can always "guess" what domain name to use based on their knowledge of the industry codes, and access desired information quickly. Say, as a passenger, you use the LA airport frequently, you know the code is LAX, so you just type www.lax.aero and you are on the web site of the airport. That?s fast!
Pre-registration and activation also serves as a very useful tool for demonstration and testing of new concepts like minimum presentation standards for mobile and wireless devices.

How Can I Justify This?
People buy for emotional reasons and justify their decisions with whatever logic they can find or create, no matter how ridiculous.
-Joe Vitale
So you want to buy an airplane! What's stopping you? Perhaps I can list a few things:
1. My spouse doesn't fly and doesn't support my flying habit.
2. I don't do enough flying. . . it's probably cheaper to rent.
3. I'm not rich.. . How could I afford an airplane of my own?
O.K. Let's acknowlege that emotionally, WE WANT THE AIRPLANE! After all, who wouldn't? What could be more desireable than a brand new airplane, everything working, smell of new leather, and of course the turning heads every time you land your new airplane?
Now comes the justification part. We'll start with
#1: My spouse doesn't fly and doesn't support my flying habit.
Unfortunately, this one's all too common. However, there are a few things you can do to enroll your spouse in the program.
Make it a practice of flying to places that your spouse wants to go! Skip the pancake breakfasts and fly-ins. Fly to destinations that are unrelated to aviation. For a list of some great places, visit

Try a "Pinch Hitter" course. Sometimes (I can speak from personal experience here) a good instructor can "hook" your spouse and before you know it you'll be forking out additional money for flight lessons. This is not a bad thing. . . With both of you involved in this activity, you'll win support for your purchase!
Who knows? Maybe your spouse prefers your absence and will endorse your involvement in a time consuming activity!
2. I don't do enough flying. . . it's probably cheaper to rent.
Have you heard the "50 hour/year" rule? Well if you have, disregard it! With a little bit of planning, your airplane investment can pay off with your personal and business flying. Airplanes are unlike other vehicles and actually increase in value over time. Take a look at a Aircraft Blue Book or V-Ref and compare values of some older airplanes. Some are several times their original purchase price! Different airplanes appreciate at different rates, so look for strong manufacturers that will be around years down the road.
3. I'm not rich.. . How could I afford an airplane of my own?
THE BIGGIE! New airplanes aren't cheap, but if you can position yourself for financing, the airplane can actually PAY YOU for the first 3-4 years! Sound impossible? Incentives are in place both from manufacturers (in the form of low interest rates) and the new tax incentives. With as little as 27% business use , you can depreciate the majority of the airplane and benefit from the associated tax savings. First year may be as much as 80% depreciation for a new aircraft! Additionally, warranty will cover the bulk of your maintenance expenses.
