In 2007, Flight Daily News was awarded the title of the world’s best air show daily publication by the [[Royal Aeronautical Society]] and the World Development Forum for the third successive year - an honor held only by Flight Daily News.

According to [[Nielsen Media Research]], Flight Daily News had the biggest share of all the advertising placed in show dailies at Paris Air Show 2005 and Farnborough 2006. This success was repeated at Paris 2007, where again Flight Daily News held the largest market share of any daily.

Flight Daily News' sister publication is the Flight Evening News. Launched at the 2004 [[NBAA]] convention in Las Vegas, a new concept in air show daily newspapers was born.

Journalists cover stories from press conferences, the exhibition floor and static display throughout the morning. The newspaper is designed and printed in a matter of hours, and handed delagates leaving the show late that afternoon. Flight Evening News is the only daily publication to follow this format, and it markets the information it provides as "today's news today".

Flight Evening News can be found at NBAA, as well as its European equivalent, EBACE.
