Every price, figure and fact published on A/XESS has a source you can check. This page shows where our data comes from, how an article is made, how to read our prices and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
Our promise
One figure, one source
A figure without a source is not published. Every article ends with a numbered list of its sources and the month we checked them.
A dated price
Our price ranges are calculated live and carry their date. You will never read a fare copied from an old brochure here.
Never stronger than the source
If the source says “about”, we write “about”. We promise nothing an operator has not promised itself.
From topic to publication
- The topic starts from real demand. We measure what travellers actually search for (search volumes by route and by language) and cover the most requested routes first, such as Nice to London or Monaco during the Grand Prix.
- We go to primary sources. Official aeronautical publications (AIP), airport operators, official calendars, aircraft operators. A press article can point us in a direction. It is never enough on its own.
- The price comes in live. The range shown in the article is calculated when you read the page, by our charter partner’s estimate tool.
- We write with the help of AI. Artificial intelligence tools help us research, structure and draft. They decide neither the figures nor the sources.
- We check, then an automatic control goes over it again. Every figure is tied to its source. An automatic check then blocks vague wording, empty superlatives and anything that does not belong on the site.
- The desk signs and the article stays alive. The article is published under its desk’s byline. When a fact changes (an event date, an airfield rule), we correct it and the update date changes.
How to read our prices
On A/XESS you will meet three kinds of price. They do not mean the same thing.
Indicative
The range
What comparable aircraft cost on this route right now. Useful to know where you stand. It is not an offer.
Firm
The confirmed quote
A named aircraft, a named operator, a price and full terms. It is the only price that commits anyone, and you see it before you decide.
Opportunity
The empty leg
An aircraft flying back empty and sold for less. The route and time depend on the original flight, and the operator can change them.
Here is a live range, exactly as it appears in our articles:
How solid our sources are
Not all sources are equal. We rank them on four levels, and an important fact must rest on the highest level available.
- Level 1: official. Aeronautical publications (AIP France and Italy), airport operators, official calendars such as Formula 1’s.
- Level 2: the operator. What the operator publishes about its own service: helicopter transfer time, schedules, terms.
- Level 3: market data. Estimates from our charter partner and recognised aviation databases such as Skybrary.
- Level 4: press and guides. Useful to find a lead. Never enough on their own to publish a figure.
Who signs our articles
A desk is a collective byline of the A/XESS newsroom, not a person. We do not put our articles under the names of journalists who do not exist.
Airfields deskRunways, access and operating rules of the Riviera airfields.
Events deskGrand Prix, festivals, shows: official dates, congestion, solutions.
Guides deskEmpty legs, aircraft categories, how a charter works.
What we never do
- Invent a customer review, a testimonial or a rating.
- Type a price by hand or present it as a firm fare.
- Sign an article with a fake journalist’s name.
- Promise availability, a schedule or a saving an operator has not confirmed.
Independence
A/XESS is paid by its charter partner when a flight booked through the site takes place. You pay the operator’s price, nothing more. A/XESS does not own or operate aircraft: every flight is operated by a licensed air carrier. Our commission changes nothing in the range shown: the tool calculates it, not us.
Corrections
If you spot an error, write to fly@axessprivatejets.com with the page and the source. We check, correct the article and change its update date. A substantive correction is noted at the end of the article.
