Editorial policy

Who influences what appears here, and who does not.

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.

There are currently no affiliate links on FlightLandings. If any are added later, each will be labelled “Affiliate link”, will sit after the data on the page and will never appear inside a ranking table.

Any commission would not depend on a carrier’s score. A carrier with a low score would be 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.
