The Publication Will Continue Online

It's another sign of the times for the struggling print media. "Access Intelligence", the company that publishes the magazine "Aviation Maintenance", is moving its entire operation online, costing one journalist and one salesperson their jobs.

In an e-mail sent to the publishing industry trade publication "Folio", "Access Intelligence" CEO Don Pazour said the magazine was unable to continue in print. The company staff had been completely reorganized just two weeks ago. “With staff leaving Cygnus to launch a competitive title to their maintenance title, and McGraw-Hill in this market, it simply has become over-published in print,” he told Folio.

Staff members with expertise in the maintenance field will be re-trained to continue the publication online as part of Aviation Today. The August issue will be the last in print.

"Aviation Maintenance" for general aviation published 8 times a year with a circulation of about 36,000, with four additional magazines each year focusing on the commercial aviation market netting another 17,000 subscribers.
