Welcome to WikiProject Airlines!

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Airlines. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope

Airline company articles e.g. Biman Bangladesh Airlines, British Airways
Airline destination articles e.g. List of Braathens destinations, List of Dragonair destinations
Airline travel benefit programs e.g. Air Miles
Airline Alliances e.g. oneworld

Goals

To improve airline articles, especially the ones that are viewed the most. For a list of the top 1000 most-viewed Airline articles, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines/Popular pages. Preferably the ones at the top of the list should be at least good articles. As of April 2012, there are no featured articles within this project.

If you find any missing destination airports, list them at Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports.
