In January 2007, the AviationWeek.com website was "segmented" to provide channel specific content. Channels include Commercial, Defense, MRO, Space, and Business Aviation. Community features include forums/groups, user generated photos, videos, and blogs.

The Aviation Week Group also runs a series of MRO Conferences for the maintenance segment of the aviation industry in addition to workshops. Aviation Week, the business group, provides industry coverage (via news, data, analytics and conferences) of the global aerospace defense industry.

The publication is sometimes informally called "Aviation Leak and Space Mythology" in defense circles.
