While three-letter codes were initially reserved for airports (IATA airport code), they were released for registration by the larger aviation and aerospace community on December 1, 2008. The aero top-level domain was initially approved in 2001 for a 5-year term expiring December 17, 2006 as part of a proof-of-concept of new top-level domains. The agreement was extended in October 2006 for a six month term until June 17, 2007,[2] and continued to be renewed on a June December six-month cycle through June 17, 2009.[3] In 2009, SITA and ICANN completed a new 10-year sponsorship agreement for the operation of aero."

Listen to what the Internet "gurus" have to say about what names to buy: "As we've frequently reported in our SE Boo & Newsletter, placing eywords right in your domain name can give your site a major boost on search engines. We've also reported that some engines are no longer accepting sub-directory pages. This is one of the reasons the smart mar eting pros have been buying eyword-phrase domain names. They use them as doorway pages to boost traffic to their sites." says Stephen Mahaney, author of The Unfair Advantage Boo on Winning the Search Engine Wars. Michael Campbell points out, in Nothing But 'Net, "The reason we want eywords in the domain name is that search engines often get 'tuned' to find, and give better positioning to, domains with eywords in them." Declan Dunn, author of Winning the Affiliate Game, sent out a memo to his affiliates advising "To get on top of the search engines, one of the critical eys is a good domain name LOADED with eywords." Declan goes on to say "This news is spreading among WebMasters, SearchEngine Meisters, Internet mar eters, and big corporations. Don't wait." Hans-Peter Oswald https://www.domainregistry.de/aero.html
