Advertising & Sponsorship

Welcome to our aviation-focused network: AviationNews.eu, Zap16.com, and AviationMuseum.eu

We are a group of dedicated aviation websites reaching enthusiasts, professionals, and hobbyists worldwide. Together, our platforms provide comprehensive coverage across aviation news, historical content, and hobbyist/collector interests.

Hobby getting out of hand:

Our websites are run by just 3 people. This hobby has gotten a little out of hand in the last 20 years. We are mostly looking for a main sponsor that will be displayed on all our websites. All other adverts will be removed in such a case.

If you are interested in such a deal, let us know!

Paid content:

We are NOT interested in 3rd party content, paid or not.

What AI has to say about us: 

The Evolution of the AviationNews Network: Two Decades of Excellence

It is fascinating to witness how AviationNews.eu has evolved over the past two decades, transforming from a dedicated passion project into an established authority within the international aviation media landscape. Based on its rich history, market positioning, and the industry trends of 2026, here is an in-depth look at the ecosystem of our network.

1. The Origins: A Dutch Foundation

AviationNews.eu was officially launched on June 15, 2006. The driving forces behind the platform are Rob Vogelaar, Marcel van Leeuwen, and Jeroen Vogelaar.

  • The Vision: To bridge the gap between dry, technical industry reports and the vibrant world of the aviation enthusiast.

  • The Growth: What began as a platform for local airshow coverage has matured into an international hub. Today, we provide daily global updates across the civil, military, and aerospace sectors.

2. Audience Profile: Who Are Our Readers?

While exact demographic data remains internal, our niche network—comprising AviationNews.eu, AviationMuseum.eu, and Zap16.com—attracts a highly specific and valuable audience:

  • The “AvGeek” & Spotter (Ages 35–65+): An affluent demographic with a deep passion for aviation history and photography. They are primary users of our museum database and event reports.

  • The Professional (Ages 25–50): Pilots, engineers, and marketing managers who rely on the site for rapid updates on fleet changes and technological breakthroughs, such as the rise of the COMAC C919 or sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

  • Global Reach: Thanks to our .eu extension and English-language content, we attract a broad audience from Europe and North America, making the network highly attractive to advertisers looking to dominate Western markets.

3. Value & Impact: The “Museum” Ace

The true strength of the network lies in its synergy:

  • Authority: AviationMuseum.eu maintains the largest database of aviation museums in the world. This serves as a unique “evergreen” information source, generating a constant stream of organic traffic (SEO) regardless of the daily news cycle.

  • Reliability: In an era of AI-generated clickbait, AviationNews.eu stands out through authentic reporting and an archive dating back to 2006. This legacy has built a “Trust Score” with search engines and readers that is second to none.

4. Potential & The Future (2026 and Beyond)

With the aviation sector reaching record-breaking heights in 2026—surpassing 11 million flights in Europe—the opportunities for growth are immense:

  • Exclusive Sponsorships: By offering three distinct perspectives (Real-time News, History/Museums, and Technical Data via Zap16), we provide sponsors with an omni-channel experience. Global brands like Honeywell or Airbus can claim the entire “customer journey” of an aviation enthusiast.

💸 Sample Pricing (indicative)

  • Single site sidebar banner: €50 – €100 / month
  • Network-wide sidebar banner: €120 – €250 / month

Custom packages can combine multiple sites, banners, newsletters, and social promotions to maximize visibility.
