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 and see the to-do list there.

Welcome to the WikiProject on Airlines

Scope

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

Goals

To establish standardization for some information that should be contained within airline articles. This would include suggested heading and tables. The primary goal is to make airline articles have a consistent feel.

Identify an existing article that can be used as a model
Create a standard infobox
Create a list of suggested headings that all articles should contain
Create standard tables that can be used to display common information
Review the existing categories and determine if changes are required
Update existing articles to new standard
Update destinations to include airport names
List missing destination airports at Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports
