Taking Off in Public: Newsstand is Going Away, Not Print
Key Takeaways:
- New owner Craig Fuller reversed his initial plan to make *Flying* magazine digital-only, acknowledging the community's value for the print edition.
- The print edition will receive a significant quality upgrade by year-end, featuring premium paper, enhanced photography, evergreen content, and the removal of non-aviation ads.
- *Flying* magazine will discontinue newsstand distribution due to the supply chain's inefficiency and unprofitability for publishers.
- To obtain the upgraded print version, readers must become subscribers, with the first enhanced edition expected in January.
