.aero domains
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.
