Dawson Media Direct
 
DMD looks after over 160 airlines worldwide, providing inflight reading materials on 6,000 flights per week. Sophisticated order processes ensure that titles and numbers are exactly matched to each individual flight and are delivered securely direct to the aircraft.

Broad publication choice
We supply a huge range of reading materials, including international and national newspapers and magazines, digitally printed same-day newspapers, branded in-flight magazines and packs for children. We also deliver video/film and handle crew documentation.

Strategic support
DMD is in a unique position to help airlines negotiate with publishers, ensuring that the airline gets the publications it wants, where it wants them, at the right price, on a worldwide basis.

Flight-profiling
Working to a passenger roster supplied just a day before each flight, we are able to run sophisticated passenger related loadings, varying the mix of publications by flight, cabin, and by day of the week. We record trend data and are able to analyse requirements over time, to help improve efficiency and reduce wastage.

Our Inflight News System can target down to individual passengers, especially those who are members of frequent flyer schemes, and provide them with named copies of their preferred in-flight reading titles.

Pre-packaging and direct delivery
DMD delivers direct to the aircraft to an agreed schedule. All of our aircraft deliveries are shrink-wrapped, colour coded by cabin, and security sealed, ensuring that onboard handling and distribution is fast and simple.

Secure handling
DMD operates stringent security both on and off the airport site. All deliveries are security wrapped and strapped and all staff are thoroughly vetted. Read more about our security here.
