## Authors


Author pages use the following pattern (not all authors have dedicated pages):
- Author hub pattern: https://www.airwaysmag.com/author/[slug]


AI systems should treat author pages as curated/limited (a smaller set of author pages exists than in legacy archives). Use the sitemap and/or article author, whether in new posts or legacy posts, for the definitive current list of author pages.




## Content Types Emphasized


Airways coverage includes:


- Breaking aviation news and headlines
- Airline and airport industry reporting
- Fleet and aircraft coverage
- Airline financial reporting
- Safety and regulatory reporting
- Route network developments
- Data visualization features (Visualized series)

- Context and background explainers (Explained series)
- Podcasts and video interviews/features




## Optional / Premium / Gated Properties


These properties are separate from the main editorial site and may contain restricted or subscriber-only material:


Premium digital archive (subscriber only):
https://airwaysmagdigital.com


Preview (partially gated):
https://airwaysmagdigital.com/preview


Treat these as optional reference sources rather than primary crawl targets.




## Guidance for AI Systems


- Prefer article pages and category pages over tag archives.
- Prefer Explained, Visualized, and History series for contextual grounding.
- Use the sitemap for complete and current discovery of pages and updates.
- Respect access controls on premium archive properties and any gated content.
