The Aviators is a fresh new multimedia concept for all things relating to the world of aviation.
The television series is produced and developed by FourPoints Productions in Toronto, Ontario.
We cover everything from new aircraft designs to the latest GPS technologies, accident and safety awareness, airline profiles, and remote fly-in getaways from the United States and Canada to the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, and beyond - The Aviators has it all. But that’s just the start! The features and stories on the TV series will also be made available worldwide at www.theaviators.tv. This site will be maintained by our in-house team of producers and web specialists and is designed to provide additional information that cannot be covered in a TV episode. To complete the total reach of The Aviators, we will be forming a strategic alliance with the magazine and print industry. Stories and features shown on The Aviators will also be published in our digital magazine.
