The future of new gTLDs is about to expand into the skies, with the upcoming application for dot .Airport.
Although there’s no defined date for a new round of gTLD applications, the general consensus places that in 2020 or 2021.
The dot .Airport applicant is founded by a European domain investor, broker and long-standing participant in ICANN activities, who has chosen to keep his latest domain venture low key for now – except to investors.
Dot .Airport is targeting thousands of airport operators around the globe, seeking a unique, identifiable address for their airports.
“dotAIRPORT, LLC is designed to be an airport industry stakeholder-group funded, owned & governed, public-benefit, non-profit effort to secure the domain extension ‘.airport’. All domain registrants will be authenticated by relevant national airport associations or authorities. ‘.airport’ domains will serve as trust label to airport visitors aiding the Internet user to more easily & intuitively identify genuine, authoritative, official airport websites; thus creating trust, safety and visibility: an intuitive link between airports and their guests.”
Would this new venture by TLD Holding become hugely successful, once they roll out the service to their high end ustomers?
Unlike general use gTLDs that are designed to capture a wide customer base, dot .Airport is aimed at a well-established niche, the quintessential facilities that every airline in the world operates on.
