History
ASN was founded by Harro Ranter in 1996 as "Aviation Safety Web Pages". Fabian Lujan offered to Harro Ranter in 1999 to rename and relocate the website. After that it was renamed the Aviation Safety Network (ASN). ASN currently does not run any advertisements on its pages, and therefore it relies strictly on donations to keep the website going. 2006 was its tenth year of operation. ASN has been recognized by many aviation safety bureaux as a reliable source of information through the years. ASN's unique visitors were expected to be around 50 million in 2006.
