Four steps to naming your airport business
This four-step process will help you name your airport business. In this example, I generated names that show luxury and class. Here’s each step I took in crafting these business names.
#1) Brainstorm your name ideas
Brainstorming on the words you want to use to represent your business is very important because this is the first impression your business makes on your potential customers. I used words like care, pilot, and us to illustrate a personalized service and safety. Your goal here is to create a list of words or names that come to mind when thinking about your business.
If you’re stuck on words to use, try our business name generator.
Here are my name ideas after brainstorming:
- AirCare
- Flight Hub
- Tribute Field
- Salute the Sky

- Fitzroy Local Airpark

- Team Transfer
- A1 Airport
- A2B Air
- International Transfer Co.
- The Landing Strip
- The Pilot Park
- Flightee
- Jets ‘R’ Us
- Centennial Landing Field
- Melbourne Municipal Airport
#2) Shortlist your ideas

Once you’ve developed a list of possible names, do an analysis of your ideas. Remove any names that could be hard to remember, spell or speak aloud. Keep names that are brandable, sound great, are memorable, and communicate your brand values, product, or service to your target audience.
Here’s a quick checklist you can run your ideas through to help shorten your list of names:
- Is the name simple and easy to remember?
- Is the name easy to read and say aloud?
- Is the name different from competitors?
- Does the name convey a relevant meaning?
- Does the name avoid overused words or cliches?
My Shortlist:
- AirCare
- A1 Airport
- Flight Hub
- Tribute Field
Removed Ideas:
- Salute the Sky
- The Flight Brothers
- Travelater
- Fitzroy Local Airpark
- Eastern Flightpark
- City Helipad
- Boston Airspace
- Team Transfer
- A2B Air
- International Transfer Co.
- The Landing Strip
- The Pilot Park
- Flightee
- Jets ‘R’ Us
- Centennial Landing Field
- Melbourne Municipal Airport
#3) Get some feedback
You’ll now have a list of 3-6 great airport business names and you can start to ask potential customers or people working in the industry for feedback (your target audience). Avoid feedback from family and friends, are more likely to praise all your ideas and they aren’t your customer.
Be sure to ask questions like:
- What first comes to mind when you first hear the name?
- How would you spell it?
With you’re customer feedback you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?
My customer feedback:
Tribute Field
This sounds like a field for landing planes.
Flight Hub
This sounds like an airport chill zone.
AirCare
Sounds like a plane service company.
A1 Airport
This signifies top quality or best airport.
#4) Check if it’s available
At this point, it’s good to have at least three great airport business names on your list, in case your any of your names are already taken. You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if you’re name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.
Competitor Name Analysis
To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful airport businesses and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.
Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) uses both the name of a person and the state in which the airport is located. This will help travelers know exactly where they are headed and how much time it takes to get there. Using an actual name also creates a personalized touch to it.
Arcata Airport is a very catchy and straightforward name. The name is also quite memorable and marketable to the target audience.
Eagle County Regional Airport uses Eagle to illustrate its strength, and this brings a sense of safety to the customers. The name is also very informative.
5 Tips for naming your airport business
The ideal business name should be simple, memorable, and convey a meaning all at the same time. Here are my 5 tips to keep in mind when developing your business name.
1. Do a Competitor Analysis
Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitor’s business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:
- What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
- Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
- Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?
2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.
A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused words like elevate, takeoff, and journey. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try to name your business in a way that has a story behind it.
Let’s take for example a real airport named “Regional Airport”.
Literally, this is an actual company that illustrates flight without the use of common words.
3. How to make a more memorable name

Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customer’s mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give extra thought to your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:
- Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Melbourne Municipal Airport, Team Transfer)
- Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context (A1 Airport: A1 is usually used in grading students, but here, it is used to mean a top-quality airport)
- Keep it short and simple.
4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name
Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy, and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable airport business names could be:
- Flightee
- Zippy Air
- Prima Airways
You can find a full list of Brandable business names at Domainify.com
5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.
Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. For example, shortening Prima Airways to PriAir.
You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable, or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
