Let’s be real—when was the last time you opened a website on your desktop first?
Chances are, you were on your phone. And you’re not alone. In fact, over 60% of all web traffic comes from mobile devices, according to Statista. That number has been steadily growing for years—and it’s not slowing down.
So here’s the question every aviation business should be asking:
Is your website built for how people actually browse today?
Mobile Isn’t a Trend—It’s the Standard
Let’s stop calling it “mobile-friendly” and start calling it what it is: mobile-first.
When a potential client, MRO partner, or defense contractor pulls up your site on their phone and sees slow load times, cluttered menus, or tiny unreadable text, they’re gone in seconds. That first impression? It just became your last shot.
According to Google, 53% of mobile users will leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. And once they bounce, they rarely come back.
The Aviation Industry Has a Visibility Problem
Let’s face it—many aviation and aerospace company websites still look like they were built in 2008. And in a highly technical industry where trust is everything, outdated websites send the wrong message.
Whether you’re a charter operator, aircraft parts supplier, or defense manufacturer, your digital presence needs to match the quality and precision of your actual services.
Here’s What a Mobile-First Aviation Website Should Do:
Load fast — under 3 seconds is ideal.
Display cleanly on any screen — no pinching, zooming, or sideways scrolling.
Highlight key info quickly — like your capabilities, certifications, and contact info.
Convert — with a clear call to action and intuitive user journey.
And above all, it should look like you care about your brand. Because if you don’t, your prospects won’t either.
Why This Matters for Aviation Marketing
Search engines now use mobile versions of your site as the primary version when ranking your business. This is known as mobile-first indexing. If your site isn’t optimized for mobile, your search rankings can tank—no matter how good your content is.
In the aviation space, where relationships often start online (through an RFP, LinkedIn connection, or trade show follow-up), your website is often your first handshake. Don’t let it be a limp one.
