Flight 602 is the third album released by Aim, and the first released on his own ATIC Records independent record label. It is Aim's third album of studio material, the other two being DJ mix albums. It was released on 25 September 2006. Several tracks were co-written by, and feature vocals from, ATIC label-mate Niko.

The track "Pier 57" was named after a holding area for peace protesters during the 2004 Republican conference in New York.[6]

Andrew Turner said of the event:

In 2004 the Republican Party held their annual convention in Manhattan, NYC. For the weekend the city was under virtual martial law as the police and military fused and hundreds of peaceful protesters were literally herded up and held in an old abandoned warehouse full of oil and asbestos, some for over 48 hours with absolutely no charge. The warehouse was on New York's Pier 57.[7]

The closing track, "It's Later Than You Think", was originally a song by Turner's band project, Paperboy.[8]
