Fly our Air Highways to the Americas
by Jerry W. Bird

When we launched Air Highways magazine and the Supermap of Air Routes, we did so to celebrate the USA -CANADA OPEN SKIES AGREEMENT and showcase the National Airports plan that was sweeping Canada, setting the stage for overnight changes at local and regional airports. At the time our editorial content focused on 40 gateways in Northwestern Canada and the US Pacific Northwest, mainly on an inbound basis. We covered scheduled and charter carriers, seaplanes, business jets and the popular helicopter airline that serves Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. Then, within months we were given the mandate to produce a magazine on travel to Africa in partnership with the African Travel Association, a 25 year old nonprofit organization, whose offices are across from the Empire State Building on New York's Fifth Avenue.

It has been a wonderful marriage and broadened our prospective on travel to such great destinations as Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Mali, Nigeria, Uganda, Namibia, Senegal, Tanzania, Morocco and South Africa. These countries were either hosts of ATA events or stopovers en route.

Two years later, we launched our first Asia Pacific edition to celebrate the Apec Summit (of 18 world economies) that was held a few blocks away from our office at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This year our magazine's coverage expands to the entire hemisphere. While we have an abundance of travel and tourism related items on Canada and a growing number of US features, our coverage will soon include Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America.

Watch for many new items in these areas. For now, here are some links to explore:

We invite individuals from various cities and countries to send tourism related items for release on this web site and in our Aviation and Travel magazines. E-mail: airhwy@dowco.com
