Fails WP:LISTN, WP:NCORP, WP:NOTCATALOGUE, WP:NOR, and WP:V.

First the sourcing. Roughly half of the routes are not sourced at all and so are WP:V failures. Of the remainder, as with most of the articles in this category, they are largely sourced to aeroroutes.com, which is the personal website of airline route enthusiast Jim Liu. Those that aren’t cited to Jim Liu are cited directly to Jazeera Airways’s website and/or routesonline.com, which is also essentially a blog run by a company that organises events for the airline industry and is not independent per RSN. These are not reliable, independent sources as required by WP:SIRS.

Turning to the non-blog, non-airline-website sources here, these entirely lack WP:SIGCOV of the routes served by the company and aren’t independent:

WP:NOR is failed because the article repeatedly states things that there is no source for (e.g., that flights are “terminated”, or “seasonal”) and is supposed to be correct for June 2025 but cites sources from years before that (mostly 2017, though the airline map used for a lot of the services is from June 2015 – ten years out of date!).
WP:LISTN is failed because, to the extent that there are any reliable and independent sources cited in this article, none of them gives significant coverage to the destinations of Jazeera Airways as a group.

This article is a WP:NOTCATALOGUE fail because it is given over entirely to the services operated by a company.

This article fails WP:NCORP, particularly WP:CORPTRIV because it is given over entirely to a “simple listings or compilations, such as … product or service offerings”. FOARP (talk) 08:29, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Its better if these lists exist in the airline article rather than as a separate one

• Delete. First of all, why would they fly to Krakow? Second, how would they fly to Heathrow if theyre lowcost airline? 188.236.193.103 (talk) 22:04, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  No source is given for Krakow. Possibly it once appeared on the airline website, but then this would show why airline websites don’t necessarily reflect where the airline is actually going to fly.

  The source for Heathrow being a “terminated” destination is this brief article on the Routesonline.com blog about them planning to add a service to Gatwick. Of course this was just a plan, and it’s not clear that this route was ever flown. FOARP (talk) 22:01, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Jazeera Airlines#Destinations (or delete outright, in that there are no incoming links from article space): like most of these airline destination lists, this is a prime example of what Wikipedia is not (particularly WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTCATALOGUE). No reliable independent sources discuss the destinations as a whole, and it thus fails WP:NLIST. Better sources can probably be found for a few destinations, but overall this is largely unverifiable as a supposed snapshot of where the airline flies today or flew at some point in the past.
