Outlet track record
The Air Current
U.S. independent, industry-specialist
The Air Current is an independent, subscription-funded aviation and aerospace news outlet founded in 2018 by journalist Jon Ostrower. It is not owned by a corporate parent and carries no advertising, relying entirely on reader subscriptions. Its coverage of the Trump administration is industry-focused and fact-driven — it has reported critically on disruptions caused by DOGE-linked FAA staff cuts and tensions between administration officials and agency leadership, while also covering administration aviation initiatives without evident political slant.
