Anyone who is eligible for registration can profit by a controlled and protected internet domain of their own, in which they can promote their brand names without the risk of losing the domains to the holders of name rights of other industries.

Additionally, the new .aero domain strives to make it easier for customers to find the information they seek. Some domain names have a hierarchical structure, as you can see in the following examples:

If you are eligible for registering .aero domain names (i.e. you are a member of the aviation community), you simply have to apply for the name. You need to have a membership ID, however.

There are different categories of eligible registrants, which require different types of certifications, e.g. an Airline Operating Certificate or a pilot's license. Knipp will advise which proof you will need. Once this verification is done you can be issued with an ID to register domain names.

Simply send an e-mail with the required information to us.

Use the Whois server to check whether a name is already taken.

No. According to the Domain Management Policy the license to use the .aero domain name cannot be sold or transferred to another person. If for any reason you do not wish to use your domain name anymore and would like to make it available to another member of the community, simply request Knipp to delete your existing domain name registration. The deletion is immediate and another member of the community will then be able to register the name.

Two years.

Yes.

You can start using your new .aero domain as soon as your registration is completed.
