History

The founder and first editor of Flight was

Wright Brothers.[4] Stanley kept in contact with them via his friend Griffith Brewer.[3][5][6]
Eventually, Spooner decided that a journal focused solely on matters relating to flying should be published—and so, Flight magazine was established as an offshoot of The Automotor Journal.[1][4]

Claiming to be the first aeronautical weekly in the world, Flight first appeared on 2 January 1909 as the official journal of the Aero Club of the United Kingdom (later the Royal Aero Club).[1] In April 1934, Flight was acquired by Iliffe & Sons, who were proprietors and printers of technical magazines, one of which included Autocar.[7][8] On 4 January 1962 the magazine was renamed Flight International.[1]

In August 2019, Flight International and its associated divisions (except analytics and consulting divisions, which were retained by RELX as Cirium) were sold to DVV Media Group.[9] In September 2020, Flight International switched from a weekly to monthly publication.[10][11]
