.aero (derived from aeronautics) is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) used in the Domain Name System of the Internet. It is the first sponsored top-level domain based on a single industrial theme. The aero domain is reserved for companies, organizations, associations, government agencies, and individuals in aviation-related fields. It was created in 2002 and is operated by SITA. SITA created and operates the Dot Aero Council. Two-letter codes under .aero are reserved for airlines according to the IATA Airline Designators. While three-letter codes were initially reserved for airports (IATA airport code), they were released for registration by the larger aviation and aerospace community on December 1, 2008.[1] The aero top-level domain was initially approved in 2001 for a 5-year term expiring December 17, 2006 as part of a proof-of-concept of new top-level domains. The agreement was extended in October 2006 for a six month term until June 17, 2007,[2] and continued to be renewed on a June December six-month cycle through June 17, 2009.[3] In 2009, SITA and ICANN completed a new 10-year sponsorship agreement for the operation of aero.[4] References External links bs:.aero ca:.aero cs:.aero da:.aero es:.aero fa:.aero fr:.aero it:.aero hu:.aero mzn:.aero nl:.aero ja:.aero ce:.aero no:.aero pl:.aero pt:.aero ro:.aero ru:.aero sah:.aero sv:Toppdom n tr:.aero ur:Aero. fiu-vro:.aero zh:.aero
