How the score is built
- 4 measures, each scored out of 10
- The headline is the plain average of those measures, computed in the open
- Each measure is an editorial assessment based on the published facts and sources in the breakdown
- No airline pays to be rated, and no placement is sold
What we deliberately left out
- Safety. It is not a marketing metric and we will not rank carriers on it.
- Cancellation rate and fleet age. Omitted rather than estimated, until a sourced field exists for every airline.
- Any sub-metric we cannot attribute. An unsourced measure is dropped, not guessed.
- Blended third-party scores that mix in inputs we have already rejected elsewhere on this page.
