Business Travel Today files corrections publicly. Material corrections — factual errors, attribution failures, premise misstatements — are recorded here with the date of correction, the affected brief, and a short note on the change. The full workflow is described in the methodology and in §5 of the editorial standard v2026.1.
Minor editorial fixes (typography, punctuation, formatting) are made in place and not logged. The correction threshold is whether a careful reader's understanding of the brief would change if the error were left in. If the answer is yes, the correction is logged here.
The log
- · Withdrawal pass 3 — 2 additional briefs withdrawn · A third fact-check pass (covering the ~32 articles not in either of the prior two passes) caught two further premise-level fabrications: (1) the private-jet memberships brief built its premise on a non-existent JetNet IQ analyst, a "Flexjet Red Label Mid-Market" tier that does not exist, and "VistaJet basing 8 additional Bombardier Challenger 850s" (Challenger 850 production ended in 2012, so no new aircraft were available to base). (2) The Mandarin Oriental Punta Negra Mallorca brief fabricated the entire F&B program (named restaurants, sommelier, GM quotes, €185M conversion cost, corporate-buyer bookings) — actual signature restaurants are Matsuhisa (Nobu Matsuhisa) and Leña by Dani García per Mandarin Oriental press materials. Both withdrawn. Ten additional briefs in this audit cohort received in-place factual corrections (godparent of Cunard Queen Anne, Ponant Le Jacques-Cartier delivery date and crew count, Crystal Cruises A&K co-principal, Dubai Tim Clark briefing + EK001A/EK002A fabrication removed, London Andre Balazs Claridge's claim removed, Singapore Mandarin Oriental reopening date, Frankfurt Terminal 3 opening, Delta One JFK T4 opening date, Chase Sapphire JFK size from 22,500 to 7,600 sq ft, ANA ORD-NRT flight numbers NH11/NH12 not NH112/113).
- · Mass withdrawal — 20 briefs withdrawn from the wire · Following a desk-wide fact-check pass run against the older portion of the editorial archive (43 briefs published prior to the May 2026 Daily Briefing reformat), twenty briefs were found to contain premise-level fabrications that no in-place correction could salvage — wrong opening dates, fabricated executive quotes, route launches that did not happen, fleet counts that do not exist, and an incorrect IATA AGM host city. The affected briefs were withdrawn from publication: aviation (5), hotels (3), lounges (2), loyalty (2), routes (3), news (3), destinations (1), cruises (1). Withdrawn URLs now return 404 from the build. The corrections workflow ordinarily files in-place edits with a change note; the scale and premise-level nature of these errors required withdrawal rather than revision. This entry serves as the standing log of the mass withdrawal. Eight additional briefs in the same audit cohort received in-place factual corrections (Air Canada Signature Class 777-200LR retirement, Delta A350-900 fleet count, Park Hyatt Tokyo reopening date and key count, Raffles London OWO Michelin star count, Capital One Lounge IAD opening date, Chase Sapphire JFK Flagship opening date, plus the two earlier landed in `998e3ef`).
- · IATA AGM 2026 — Singapore briefing · Corrected the AGM host city and dates. The earlier draft referenced "Singapore, June 1–3, 2026, hosted by Singapore Airlines" — verified against the IATA official 82nd AGM announcement, the AGM is in Rio de Janeiro, June 6–8, 2026, hosted by LATAM Airlines Group. The Singapore confusion appears to reflect the separate IATA World Data Symposium (Singapore, April 8–9, 2026). Body, FAQ, and TL;DR updated; slug retained for stable URL.
