As 2024 comes to a close, it’s great to see so many of you still engaging with the site, in fact, we’re getting more and more subscribers every year. This year our YouTube – now in it’s 3rd full year – celebrates its biggest year yet with more than 750k views and yet more ‘toilet winks’, (IFYKYK). Even the site continues to attract around 150k viewers a month and our audience just continues to grow.
Every time I work on TheDesignAir, I’m in awe of the following it has received, both on the site, on social and now on YouTube too. I’ve been running the site for over 13 years now, following and reporting on the passenger experience. It’s always a pleasure to work so closely with airlines, design studios, airports and innovators across the globe, helping promote innovation and advancement in one of the most addictive industries in the world.
A personal ask
As I do every year, I ask for your support, I don’t do it often, and I do it to keep the site ad-free, allowing the beautiful imagery from this industry shine through. Storing, researching and delivering content is labour and cost-intensive. Because there is no advertising, there’s no revenue incoming from the site, so I ask on your kind support to keep things going. If you are able to donate – whatever amount – it all gets funnelled back in to the site, to keep the site full of content. And I thank you personally for your kind support.
Every year I’m surprised and delighted by the support both individuals and studios provide towards this site, and without them… without you, it wouldn’t be possible. We all know 2025 is going to be an epic year of reveals, developments and launches, I hope that you’ll continue to join us as they get uncovered. And please, even if you can’t donate, please spread the word, watch our YouTube channel and get involved. Even a comment will make all the difference. Here’s to a fantastic 2025, and Happy New Year, wherever you are!
