Sean Broderick covers aviation safety, MRO, and the hardware side of the airline business from Aviation Week Network's Washington, D.C. office.
Broderick's aviation career started in 1991, working for Airbus in Toulouse. His industry experience includes four years with an aviation consultancy, where he helped launch a U.S. Part 121 carrier; 12 years with the American Association of Airport Executives, where he served as editor of Airport Magazine; and 20 years in full- and part-time roles with Aviation Week writing primarily about safety and the aftermarket.
Broderick was named the 2020 Aerospace Journalist of the Year by the Aerospace Media Awards. He also shared in a 2020 Neal Award for Best News Coverage with Aviation Week Network colleagues. Broderick and Aviation Week colleague John Croft shared the 2015 Flight Safety International Cecil A. Brownlow Publication Award recognizing "significant contributions by journalists to aviation safety awareness."
He graduated from James Madison University with a B.S. in Communications ('91) and earned an M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications ('13) from West Virginia University.
“In 2015, the growth of our series production business will be driven mainly by the GP7000 and the new geared-turbofan programs that will enter series production,” the company notes.
From hedging strategies to equipment choices to routes and capacity, the implications of current fuel prices are not as straightforward as one might think.
The American Association of Airport Executives has added former Transportation Security Administration Chief Technology Officer John Sanders as a principal advisor of its recently created Airport Innovation Accelerator (AIA). The AIA will serve as a de facto incubator that helps companies bring potentially beneficial technology and services to airports. It plans to tap the expertise of airport executives to help identify and shape the most promising offerings. The AIA expects to begin operations by midyear.
