Editorial Standards & AI Transparency Policy
Flight News Daily (flightnewsdaily.com) was founded on a singular premise: airline news and travel intelligence must be verifiable, auditable, and grounded in primary source documents. We do not publish unattributed rumors, decorative SEO listicles, or unverified secondary claims.
Every factual statement, fee dollar amount, seat dimension, or route schedule published on Flight News Daily must cite a primary source. Acceptable primary sources include:
- Official airline Contracts of Carriage and passenger tariff filings.
- Regulatory dockets and final rules from the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union (EUR-Lex), or UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
- Direct corporate press releases issued by airline executive newsrooms.
- SEC Form 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K investor filings.
No article or data record is published anonymously or under generic pseudonyms. Every post carries a named human author and must undergo editorial review by a designated peer prior to publication. Content Management System (CMS) publishing gates strictly block documents where primary source arrays, traveler impact summaries, or reviewer timestamps are absent.
Flight News Daily utilizes computational scripts and automated change-detection pipelines solely to monitor regulatory dockets and DOM diffs across official tariff pages.
Zero unedited AI text is ever published. All diff detections must be manually triaged, fact-checked against primary sources, and rewritten by our human editorial team before becoming live.
We maintain a strict firewall between editorial analysis and commercial monetization. Sponsoring partners, affiliate networks, and airline advertising representatives have no authority over our change tracking, rankings, or regulatory advice.
