Sources & Verification
How AirlinesAirports.com keeps aviation information honest, sourced and current.
Structured aviation data
Airport, airline and route records are built from recognized open datasets — primarily OurAirports and OpenFlights — plus official airport and airline websites for verification.
News
Aviation news is aggregated from established aviation and general news publishers via their public feeds, always linked and attributed to the original source.
Photography
Images come from our network's own library and from licensed providers such as Unsplash, always with photographer attribution as required.
Freshness
Data changes constantly in aviation. Each content class has a refresh schedule; time-sensitive facts (terminals, fees, rules) should always be confirmed with the official operator before travel.
Hierarchy of authority
For any live operational question — flight status, gate, security rules, entry requirements — the official airline, airport or government authority is the only authoritative source. We link out to them prominently.
