Airports to lose their privilege to register IATA and IACO codes as aero-domain names
Monday, August 04, 2003
Secura, an ICANN accredited domain name registrar, announced, that it is still accepting registrations of Three-Letter-IATA-Codes as aero-domains till September 15, 2003. Following the consultations with ACI and the Dot Aero Council, airports have an extended period until September 15, 2003 to secure short and memorable .aero domain names corresponding to the IATA and IACO codes. ( https://www.domainregistry.de/aero.html ).
After September 15 everybody in the aviation community will be able to register these attractive names.
Airports are also invited to register their:
As of March 3 all 3- and 4-letter names in airport.aero are strictly reserved for these codes.
Airports can also register aero-domains in the format location-code-locaction-code.aero, e.g. jfk-muc.aero. Such aero-domains are very suitable, in order to publish flight schedules and flight information, in this example flights from Kennedy Airport to the Munich Airport.
The rumor, that it is not permitted to register the city name where an airport is located, is false. Every airport can register city.aero (e.g. paris.aero) if the domain name is still available. As expected, such names will generate great traffic in the future, and city names should be secured as quickly as possible.
Airlines can register their two-character-IATA-Code as aero-domain. Many Top Level Domains (TLDs) do not permit two-letter-domains or they are all taken as at .com.
Two letter domain names are also not common at .aero. Dotaero made (with the permission of ICANN) an exclusive exemption for the airlines. The IATA code is a condition to get the two-letter-aero-domain name.
The two-letters aero-domains are recommended by experts, not only for a specialized targeted group, but also for the broad public such two character domains are a good advertising tool, as people easily remember such short domain names.
Airlines can use the two-character-aero domain name to print on the tickets, to paint on the airplanes or even for a special website about frequent traveler programs and offers. Many frequent travelers know already the IATA code by heart and will therefore use a domain name with the IATA code.
BA.aero, NW.aero and CX.aero have been already registered.
