Ratings and scores

Scores are built only from passenger ratings, using the method on the methodology page. No airline, airport or advertiser can pay to change, hide or promote a rating or a ranking, and none has been given access to do so.

Affiliate links

Some pages link to third-party services such as airport parking, lounge access, transfers or travel eSIMs. If you buy through one of these links, FlightLandings may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Each such block is labelled “Affiliate link” and sits after the data on the page. Affiliate blocks never appear inside a ranking table.

Commission does not depend on a carrier’s score. A carrier with a low score is reported with that score whether or not a booking link for it exists.

Reference data

Runway, elevation, alliance, hub and fleet details are reference material, not ratings. They are checked against public sources and dated on the page. Where a value has not been checked, the field is left blank instead of filled with an estimate.

Articles

Figures in articles come from the ratings table or from published aviation sources named in the text. Where the ratings do not yet support a statement, the article says so.
