On 12 December, 2021, AeroNewsX officially announced its closure and subsequent suspension of operations on its social media pages – comprising Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn which at the time totalled nearly 48,000 followers..

Unfortunately the AeroNewsX business model is no longer suited to the competitive industry that provides aviation news, flexible working conditions for members and 100% free content for the audience.

“It is with great sadness that I announce the closure of AeroNewsX today. Over the last 3+ years, I’ve had the chance to meet so many brilliant people, many of which I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Thank you to everyone for the memories, for the support and for making my time at AeroNewsX so enjoyable.”

Dillon Shah, Chief Executive Officer at AeroNewsX (May 2018-December 2021)

AeroNewsX is, however, not completely gone. Fortunately, thanks to Aviation Source Limited, the AeroNewsX Social Media pages will maintain their aviation-related publications on a regular basis. AeroNewsX and Aviation Source Limited officially signed an agreement on 24 December, 2021, confirming the sale of the social media assets to the latter. This exciting deal allows AeroNewsX’s readers to continue to benefit from quality-focused, relevant and regular updates from the aviation world.

The transfer of the social media assets is to completed momentarily.

“I am thrilled to be able to help AviationSource with its growth, continuing a trend of high-quality aviation news that we aimed to publish over the last four years with AeroNewsX.”

Dillon Shah, Chief Executive Officer at AeroNewsX (May 2018-December 2021)
