Airliners.net is an aviation website which was founded by Johan Lundgren in 1996. It claims to be the "Biggest aviation photo database on the net" and has nearly 700,000 photos in the database. Because of its popularity airliners.net now does not accept all photos but only ones which are of high quality. A sister website, MyAviation.net, which accepts all aviation photos has been set up.

Other than its extensive aviation photo database airliners.net also offers aviation news, photo and aviation item purchase, aircraft information pages and a flight and hotel booking service. There is also an active aviation forum which has approxiametly 10,000 members. There are two types of memberships: A Premium membership, which offers a username for the aviation forum but nothing else costs 25 US$ and a First Class membership, which can be acquired for 5 US$ a month offers a username for the aviation forum as well as showing the website without advertisment.

Airliners.net is hosted at Sweden's Luleå University of Technology and is maintained by Johan Lundgren. It claims to have 100,000 page views every day. Lundgren created the layout of airliners.net and in 2004 renewed the design of the top of the page.

Airliners.net also has parody sites at Airwhiners.net and Eurowhiners.net as well as websites of similar design and purpose, but for different topics at Cardatabase.net and Modified airliners photos.
