Photos

Every photo on SafelyAboard is a real photograph from Wikimedia Commons that its author released into the public domain (CC0 or a public-domain dedication). That means no permission or attribution is legally required, but we credit each photographer anyway. We checked each file's license through the Commons API when we downloaded it, then resized and compressed it (WebP/AVIF). Aircraft photos show a representative example of the type, not a specific aircraft in our records, and airline liveries and logos belong to their owners; their appearance doesn't mean any airline endorses or is connected to this site.
