AskBob® Connects Vendors and Maintenance Professionals with a New Supplier Directory

October 20, 2009, Brisbane, Calif., -- The AskBob® online aviation maintenance forum today announced a new supplier directory for aviation maintenance professionals. This new directory further expands the AskBob community by allowing vendors to connect with maintenance professionals online for the benefit of the industry.

In this economy it is critical for every vendor to get the word out about their services. The new AskBob® Supplier Directory makes it possible for vendors to inform maintenance professionals about products and service they offer. “By using the power of the online community to connect vendors with maintenance technicians we open a new communication tool for aviation maintenance professionals,” said Bob Jones, Managing Editor for AskBob.

The idea for a Supplier Directory came from a discussion in the “Who does it? and Who sells it?” Forum topics. The Supplier Directory is a central location for companies to promote their products and services providing one more resource for the maintenance provider.

AskBob is an online aviation maintenance community created by ATP to serve aviation maintenance professionals.

"Our expansion into Social Media has been an exciting endeavor and provides an additional way for the aircraft maintenance community to connect." said Bob Jones, Managing Editor for AskBob.
