Founded in 1972 by aviation editor James Holahan and publisher Wilson S. Leach, The Convention News Company (now branded as AIN Publications) published its first issues of NBAA Convention News at that year's National Business Aviation Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. While still publishing NBAA Convention News each year, the company has expanded its offerings to include on-site daily publications at the annual Heli-Expo (HAI Convention News) and European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE Convention News) and at four biennial international airshows in Farnborough, England, Paris, France, Dubai and Singapore. The company also publishes Aviation International News, a monthly trade publication widely called "AIN," which covers news, features, special reports, aircraft evaluations and surveys on business, commercial and regional aviation worldwide, and a four-times-weekly electronic newsletter, available by e-mail, AINalerts (www.ainalerts.com), which focuses on the same subjects as Aviation International News. Other digital publications produced by the AIN Publications editorial staff are AIN Air Transport Perspective and AIN Defense Perspective.

Mercator stands for: reframing ethical and policy debates in terms of human dignity, not dollars and cents or political calculation. We place the person at the centre of media debates about popular culture, the family, sexuality, bioethics, religion and law. MercatorNet isn't liberal. It isn't conservative. We don't want to be trapped on one or the other side of the culture wars. If you want a label, try "dignitarian".
