Airsider History

In 1998, we started Airsider as a website dedicated to the commercial airline industry. That time, we were still using our old name, Airways.ch.

During the years, Airsider has become a successful online magazine with news and extensive reports about airlines, airports and the air transport industry. We don't want to be the fastest news channel. What we do is delivering extensive background coverage about selected topics related to the global airline industry.

In January 2003, we unveiled our new brand identity. We officially changed the name from Airways.ch to Airsider. Furthermore, we designed a completely new logo which shows a very stylised grey heron. A great bird to show our passion for the flying business.

The This is Airsider tagline has been introduced in January 2008, at the same time as the new design was rolled out.
