Sources and methods

The information on thetaxiway is compiled from a monitored selection of published industry feeds and public indexes of news publications. These sources are selected for their coverage of the UK aviation sector and the specific topics that form the site's editorial spine: the individual airport and the passenger journey through it. Each source publication is credited on every story derived from its reporting.

News articles from these feeds are processed with automated assistance to extract the core facts. They are then summarised and rewritten into a plain, concise format for the site. This process focuses on verifiable events, announcements, or data points. If a purported fact appears in only one monitored publication and cannot be corroborated by other public sources or official channels, it is either omitted or explicitly noted as being from a single source.

The reference pages, such as those for a specific Airport or Lounge, are built from stable, publicly verifiable facts. These are presented in a structured facts table. Each page is completed with a credited photograph, sourced from appropriate repositories. These reference pages are intended as static snapshots of enduring information.

All coverage on thetaxiway, including both news summaries and reference pages, is subject to scheduled review and refresh. The frequency of these updates is dictated by the volatility of the information; news sections are updated continuously as new feeds are processed, while reference pages are refreshed on a periodic cycle or when a significant change to the underlying facts is identified and verified.
