• Being transparent about our processes and limitations

2. Content Creation Process

2.1 Research & Writing

All content is created by experienced aviation journalists and travel industry professionals. Our process includes:

• Primary Research: When possible, authors conduct first-hand research (airport visits, interviews with officials, direct experience)
• Official Sources: We cite official sources including FAAN, NCAA, Nigerian Immigration Service, WHO, and airline websites
• Expert Consultation: For technical or regulatory content, we consult with industry experts

Before publication, all content undergoes:

• Editorial review for clarity, accuracy, and completeness
• Fact-checking of all claims, statistics, and regulations
• SEO optimization to ensure readers can find relevant content

3. Fact-Checking Standards

We maintain rigorous fact-checking standards, especially for:
