Pitching Insights

Ian's coverage is heavily focused on the aviation industry, particularly airlines and aircraft. He seems to be interested in evolving stories within the transportation and logistics sector as well as providing expert commentary.

For effective outreach, consider pitching Ian with newsworthy content related to airlines, aircraft technology advancements, or exclusive insights into recent aviation incidents. Additionally, given his podcast episodes' titles featuring specific flight numbers and occurrences like "Alaska Airlines flight 1282," a pitch that aligns with such detailed topics may pique his interest.

Since he focuses primarily on the aviation industry without a specific geographic focus mentioned, pitches relevant to global aviation news or developments would likely resonate well with him.
