Aviation Week Launches Fleet Discovery, Providing Comprehensive, Easy-to-Use Data on Global Commercial & Executive Aircraft

NEW YORK, April 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Aviation Week, the largest multimedia information and services provider to the global aviation, aerospace and defense industries, today announced the availability of Fleet Discovery. This new online tool allows access to global in-depth commercial and executive aircraft fleet information.  The unique offering combines the strengths of Aviation Week's comprehensive LAR and BACK Aviation databases and market-leading fleet researchers with the brands of SpeedNews and Air Transport World. The result is a comprehensive product providing unparalleled perspective and accuracy in tracking individual aircraft lifecycles, delivered by researchers and analysts known and trusted around the world.

Fleet Discovery leverages Aviation Week's powerful aircraft database to provide business information on 200+ data points for 144,000+ aircraft, including fleet details for operators worldwide, aircraft transactions and ownership information, complete aircraft histories, technical specifications including hours and cycles, and order book status for manufacturers.  The product enables those with a financial interest in the commercial aviation market, such as manufacturers, airlines, MRO providers and the supply chain, to monitor and analyze the movements of individual aircraft as assets, providing critical knowledge for strategy development.

"Fleet Discovery offers a wealth of data, at the serial-number level, analyzed by the fleet data team, and readily accessible through an easy-to-use interface.  Just the latest in a series of industry tools from Aviation Week, it offers unsurpassed insight for analysts, consultants and anyone who follows global commercial and business aircraft, and fits with our overall strategy to provide the industry's most timely, valuable business information," said Jim Mathews, Executive Editor, Data & Analytics at Aviation Week.

"We are quite proud of Fleet Discovery and the features it offers the industry," said Warren N. Bimblick, Penton's Senior Vice President, Strategy & Business Development.  "It is yet another example of a Penton data product aimed at providing analytical tools for business decision makers."  In recent months, Penton has launched such products as Govalytics that helps marketers establish relationships with governments before governments issue RFPs, and NEXT Natural Products Industry Accelerator, which gives entrepreneurial brands access to tools to help grow their natural product's businesses.
