Bryan Shelmon

Bryan Shelmon is an aviation journalist with 10 years of experience covering commercial aviation, private aviation, airports, and industry news. Writing for Dj's Aviation, he turns fleet decisions, route launches, and airline strategy into clear reporting for frequent flyers and industry professionals.

His path into aviation reporting started at the University of Pittsburgh, where he earned his Bachelor's degree before moving into specialised writing on airlines, aircraft, and airport operations. A decade in the field has taken him across widebody orders, cabin product updates, low-cost carrier launches, and the commercial pressures shaping global air travel.

Bryan has contributed to Simple Flying, Matador Network, Lonely Planet, and Visit Detroit , covering everything from cabin product launches to city features. That breadth carries into his Dj's Aviation reporting, which reads clearly for a first-time visitor and holds up for the industry contacts who check the numbers.

At Dj's Aviation, his coverage spans commercial aircraft, private aviation, airport strategy, and broader industry developments. Whether the story concerns a manufacturer's production ramp, a new transatlantic route, or a shift at a major hub, Bryan builds his reporting from primary statements, airline filings, and cross-referenced sources. His approach reinforces the accurate, fast news standard Dj's Aviation has held since 2015.

Based in the United States, Bryan brings a global perspective to his beat, tracking movements across airlines and manufacturers in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. His portfolio at bryanshelmon.com collects earlier features, columns, and city guides, offering a fuller picture of the reporting style now appearing on Dj's Aviation.
