Aviation partnerships

Create something aviation fans will want to take part in.

FlightTrove partnerships turn relevant aviation moments into community challenges, collectible badges and event collaborations. They are designed for museums, airshows, aviation brands and organisations that want to add something to the spotting experience — not interrupt it.

Why partner with FlightTrove

Reach a focused aviation audience with something participatory, useful and measurable.

Be part of the experience

Create a challenge around an event, aircraft theme or spotting goal and become part of what the community is already doing.

Create something collectible

Give participants a collectible FlightTrove badge that keeps the partnership visible as part of a real achievement.

See what resonated

Understand how the campaign performed through aggregate views, participation, badge awards and partner-link clicks.

Partnership formats

Community Challenge

A focused, time-limited challenge built around a spotting theme, with a reward badge, clear partner credit and aggregate campaign reporting.

Season Partnership

A longer collaboration across a season or theme, with each challenge or visible placement reviewed and clearly attributed.

Event Partnership

A collaboration connected to an airshow, museum day, spotting weekend or other aviation event.

What it could look like

Museum weekend

A weekend challenge encouraging spotters to find aircraft types connected to a museum collection, with a limited event badge.

Airshow challenge

A time-boxed challenge around an aviation event, giving participants something to complete and keep after the weekend.

Brand-supported spotting goal

A relevant aviation brand supports a spotting goal without changing what FlightTrove recommends or what counts as a Spot.

Built to protect community trust

A good partnership should add to FlightTrove without changing the product rules that make spotting credible.

Clearly disclosed

Sponsored challenges and partner placements are clearly labelled wherever they appear.

Independent product decisions

Partners do not control Radar, alerts, Best Next, aircraft ordering, Spot rules, collections or subscription access.

Privacy-safe reporting

Partner reporting is aggregate. We do not provide participant lists, user profiles, location, Favorites, Spots or personal notes.

From idea to launch

  1. Tell us about your organisation, the audience you want to reach and the idea you would like to create.
  2. We review the idea for aviation relevance, community fit, safety, legal requirements and a clear partner disclosure.
  3. If it is a fit, we agree the format, timing, public credit, landing page and reporting expectations.
  4. Before launch, we make sure the campaign meets our privacy, disclosure and store requirements.
