World Airnews – Africa’s Aviation Authority for 52 Years

World Airnews stands as the oldest and most widely circulated international aviation magazine on the African continent. With 52 years of continuous publication, it has earned a solid reputation as the trusted voice of aviation professionals, defence leaders, and enthusiasts across Africa—and increasingly, the world.

 

Published monthly, the magazine delivers in-depth, high-impact content spanning commercial, military, and general aviation. From cutting-edge aircraft reviews and avionics to sustainability, air traffic control, and emerging technologies like drones and electric aircraft, World Airnews brings critical industry developments to a diverse, influential readership that includes:

  • Airline executives and decision-makers
  • Military and defence officials
  • Aviation engineers and pilots
  • Airport authorities and regulators
  • Global aerospace manufacturers and suppliers

In May 2024, World Airnews became its own business entity under the name World Airnews Pty Ltd, moving away from TCE Publications. The magazine remains committed to promoting aviation across Africa and beyond, providing authoritative and authentic information to professionals in the industry.
