Summary

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

In 2015, Anselmo and his team spearheaded a digital initiative that provides subscribers with fresh content every day via mobile phones, tablets, or desktop computers. To mark Aviation Week’s 100th anniversary in 2016, the publication’s entire archive – more than 440,000 pages of articles, images, covers and advertisements – was digitized into a searchable online archive. Aviation Week also has accelerated its push into digital media with regular podcasts, videos, data features, infographics and eBooks.

Anselmo has more than 25 years of experience as an editor and reporter with Aviation Week, Congressional Quarterly and the Washington Post Company. He has won three Aerospace Journalist of the Year awards. A graduate of Ohio University, he was elected three times to the National Press Club’s Board of Governors, including one term as board chairman.

Single-aisle jets accounted for 73% of the orders taken by Boeing last year and 61% by Airbus. So it is hardly surprising that aerospace suppliers of all sizes are anxious about whether the two aircraft builders will really be able to maintain their optimistic narrow-body production plans. For their part, Boeing and Airbus worry that sub-tier suppliers will begin to pull back in anticipation of reductions that may never materialize, setting the stage for component shortages and delayed deliveries in years to come.

A longtime goal of EADS NV CEO Louis Gallois has been to lessen the company’s reliance on Airbus by expanding its defense business. While he has made progress—more than one-third of the European aerospace giant’s earnings before interest and taxes came from outside Airbus last year—Gallois wants EADS to be more like chief rival Boeing Co., which is able to rely on its military unit for more than 50% of revenues when the commercial aircraft industry hits hard times.
