PRLog -- In the past couple of months AerHub has been exploring possibilities of expansion and was in talks with various other aviation social networking sites. After evaluating the opportunities each site could offer AerHub users, management strategically selected PilotSpeak.net as an acquisition. PilotSpeak.net is a social aviation site leaning more toward pilots, but striving to include everyone in the aviation community. In operation since 2007, PilotSpeak was able to build a large social community base by providing users a voice: with the ability to rate and review hotels and destinations as well as have full reign to discuss popular topics in the forum, PilotSpeak found success amongst free spirited pilots. Wilkinson Egwu, founder of AerHub.com, revealed that he is "happy about the merger because it will provide additional users to our community and further expand the site as a one stop shop for anything aviation. Also, the merger will help us utilize the experience and knowledge of the huge pilot base offered by PilotSpeak.net."
Wayne "Kila" Watts, a pilot himself, is the creator of PilotSpeak.net and expressed his feelings on the merger stating, "I am very excited about the merger of PilotSpeak.net and AerHub.com for a number of reasons. Both of our sites envisioned having a well designed, user friendly, social website for the aviation community and aviation enthusiasts. With the ability to provide users with aviation forums, pictures, videos, friendship, news, job listings and much more, seamlessly integrated into one website, I think that AerHub and PilotSpeak.net combining forces will magnify the opportunities provided to the users and thus inspire the entire aviation community to get on board. I am very much looking forward to working with Wilkinson and his team of professionals and to making the new AerHub.com the best aviation site on the internet." Wayne Watts will be serving AerHub.com as the new VP of Operations and Online Content.
AerHub.com continues to develop new features for the aviation minded, expand its online community, and grow the foundation of the company.
