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.

Here we go again. The airline industry is buzzing with speculation about mergers as marriage talks heat up between Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines, and UAL Corp. (United Airlines) considers a combination with Continental Airlines. Skeptics can be forgiven for doubting that anything will come of the discussions. It was only a few weeks ago that hedge fund Paradus Capital Management was publicly pushing for a merger of Delta with United (AW&ST Dec. 3, 2007, p. 12).

Bombardier’s regional jet business rebounded sharply in the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, recording its highest number of orders since 2001 and nearly matching its Brazilian arch-competitor, Embraer. The Canadian aircraft builder closed out the fiscal year with 140 regional jet (RJ) orders, up sharply from 49 in 2006 and 37 in 2005. Embraer posted 146 RJ orders in its fiscal year, which ended Dec. 31.

And analysts began to question whether Bombardier, which was losing out in regional jet (RJ) sales to Brazilian rival Embraer, might be driven out of the civil aircraft business altogether.
