Flying Smart is an independent blog/magazine financed mainly by advertising revenue. The site editor has no capital ties with advertisers.
Flying Smart draws its legitimacy and sustainability from the trust of its audience. In addition to fulfilling a legal obligation of transparency, the purpose of this advertising disclosure is to inform you about the business model of online infotainment and our approach to it.
