About

FlyingFuel is an independent publication about commercial aviation. We cover the aircraft, airlines and airports that keep the world flying, and we explain how the industry works in plain language.

What we cover

  • NewsDevelopments that change how airlines and airports operate.
  • AircraftTypes, specifications and side-by-side comparisons.
  • AirlinesFleet decisions, strategy and route networks.
  • AirportsHubs, expansion projects and infrastructure.
  • GuidesThe fundamentals, from ETOPS to what makes an aircraft a widebody.

How we work

We write for readers who are curious about aviation, whether or not they work in it. That means defining technical terms when we use them, showing the numbers behind a claim, and keeping opinion separate from reporting.

If you spot a mistake in one of our articles, tell us and we will check it and correct it.
