Periodismo de Altura Award Registration

4th Edition of the Periodismo de Altura Award

The Journalism at Altitude Award, from the Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), seeks to encourage consistency and objectivity, and to recognize the passion and discipline of those who, through data, figures, and analysis, demonstrate the importance of air transport as a driver of development and well-being for the region, and who, through their publications, contribute to the improvement and strengthening of the aviation industry.

In its fourth edition, whose ceremony will take place during the ALTA AGM & Airline Leaders Forum 2026 in Mexico City, the award will recognize journalists from the region whose projects demonstrate that aviation, far from being a luxury, is a necessity for the connectivity, development, and well-being of people across an entire continent.

Registration is open from July 15, 2026, to August 15, 2026.

Please read the rules before registering.
