Historical Note:
Revista Aérea Latinoamericana was created in 1937 as a Spanish-language version of the highly regarded US monthly Aero Digest aimed at the Latin American market. This region was seen as a rich potential market for export sales of aircraft, engines, and associated technology, and advertisers came to rely heavily on this publication to help promote their line in this lucrative market. When Aero Digest ceased publication in 1956 Colombian businessman Maximillian Garavito purchased Revista Aérea Latinoamericana and took over as editor and publisher. Upon his death in 1979 Elaine Asch-Root assumed control, dropping "Latinoamericana" from the title and expanding into the Spanish and Portugeuse markets. In 2010 Revista Aérea began publishing a Portugeuse language edition as well as a revamped on-line version. In addition to its original role of communicating the latest in aviation technology to potential buyers, the magazine also highlights aviation-related news and events in Latin America and promotes aviation education and humanitarian aviation operations.
