What is .aero TLD

.aero is a sponsored top‑level domain dedicated to the global air‑transport and aviation ecosystem. It provides a clear namespace for airlines, airports, manufacturers, service providers, and associations to signal sector affiliation across .aero domains and .aero websites. At webatla, we index the namespace at scale: 13,548 active .aero domains, 10,891 live .aero websites, spanning 85 countries. This concentration enables consistent discovery, labeling, and risk assessment across organizations that rely on interoperable digital identities. Because the space is purpose‑built and eligibility‑controlled, we observe more standardized naming patterns than in open generic TLDs, improving crawlability and classification. Our data also captures new registrations and churn to monitor momentum. Download .aero domain datasets from webatla for full, filterable coverage.

History and key features of .aero TLD

Introduced in the early 2000s as a sponsored TLD, .aero was designed for verified members of the aviation community under policies coordinated with the registry and ICANN. That governance has shaped practical features: clear eligibility rules, sector‑specific naming guidance, and security options commonly adopted across .aero domains and .aero websites. In our current index, 10,891 domains resolve with DNS, closely matching 10,891 live websites, a signal of active use rather than defensive registrations. We also track fresh activity, with 98 in December 2025 entering the zone, which helps quantify adoption cycles and brand behavior. These characteristics make .aero a distinct dataset for benchmarking industry presence and monitoring compliance footprints. Download historical .aero domain datasets from webatla.

Why and who choose the .aero domain

Organizations choose .aero to align public identity with aviation credentials and communities. Typical registrants include airlines, airports, cargo operators, aerospace manufacturers, travel technology firms, training bodies, and trade groups, each using .aero domains for brand clarity and .aero websites for customer‑facing services. We see adoption across 85 countries and ongoing flow – 17 new registrations last week – supporting specialized search, trust signals, and partner discoverability. With 10,891 live websites, stakeholders can map supply chains, analyze competitors, and assess regional footprints without mixing unrelated sectors. Our datasets surface owners, DNS posture, hosting patterns, and age distributions to inform procurement, due diligence, and threat modeling with a consistent taxonomy.
