It was introduced in 2002 by SITA, a leading provider of aerospace information technologies and communications. In order to register a .aero domain name, you have to obtain a SITA ID by completing their verification process. This process makes .aero a highly exclusive domain, reserved solely for authentic aviation organizations and individuals.
