your occupation

Hi, I've just noticed you are a first-officer for the a320. May I ask what training and what JPL etc... exams you took? Because I would be interested in a career in aviation, since I actually know quite a bit about flying, and I've flown an approach in a cessna 303. I also hold a few awards on FSX :D

thanks,

Cardiff Airport

If you visit Zoom Airlines's website you can see that they do not have tickets for sale on its service to Vancouver to Cardiff, thus resulting in myself to change the cardiff airport page. If you prove that this service still operates please tell me.

Many Thanks Loughrey13 —Preceding comment was added at 20:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Cardiff International Airport

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Cardiff International Airport. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Cardiff Airport is an essential airport for the UK considering its location, the people relying on it, its routes, its role in the economy et cetera Welshleprechaun (talk) 15:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I have added no commentary of my own to the article, merely reverted to a previous version, a change made for good reason. You clearly disagree with the wording of the article and as such you should use the article talk page to put forward your point of view on this matter so that everyone can contribute and come to an agreement on the wording. As the 19th largest airport in terms of passenger numbers in 2006, Cardiff is certainly not a major UK airport and the previous text accurately represented the important part it plays in serving Wales. I have therefore reverted your change again and ask that you use the talk page if you wish to start a discussion on the matter. SempreVolando (talk) 16:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I might have lost one of your edits when I re-worked the article. It was badly in need of a re-work. Regards MilborneOne (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Heathrow expansion

Thanks for your contribution to the 'opposition' section, very helpful. I have come back with some more changes, I have added back some details about the impact on Sipson (which got watered down a week or so ago), and also the section on the climate camp/injunction (but I have added details of BAA and responses to the camp and injunction). The camp was a very significant event gaining worldwide attention, and provides the context for BAA's involvement in Flying Matters. I think there will also be a call for short paragraphs on climate change, local air pollution and noise (with both points of view expressed) but think it is better to let the section 'settle' first. I look forward to your further contributions and hope the 'health warnings' on the section being removed. Do you agree with the heading change, I think it is now at a more logical position in the table of contents. PeterIto (talk) 12:09, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Reversed your reversion to London City Airport

Hi.

I've reversed your reversion to this article. I'm not a participant in Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports, and as best I can tell the article isn't a part of that project anyway, although I guess it should be. I came to the article through Wikipedia:WikiProject London, which the article is part of.

The guideline you refer to seems bizarre from a general WP POV, and I've already raised an objection to it on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports. However that is not why I decided to reverse the reversion. I did that because an undiscussed reversion was IMHO way over the top. Wikipedia:Revert#When_to_revert suggests reversion in a few cases including vandalism, but explicitly not in good faith cases. As an editor not participating in the project you quote the guideline from, and making clearly non-vandalistic edits, I think I should be accorded good faith. -- Chris j wood (talk) 17:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

On a more pragmatic note, I feel that linking destinations does resolve some practical difficulties with the unlinked list. For example, without the link, individual readers are going to have to find out for themselves that the destination referred to as Nice is actually Côte d'Azur International Airport. -- Chris j wood (talk) 17:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chris. I just left a note at the WikiProject Airports Talk Page following your comment which crossed with your message, and have commented there on the policy as it stands for not linking the destination names. I apologise if you considered my reversion to be over the top, I did assume good faith in your edit and perhaps should have discussed it first, but it was on the basis that the edit was not satisfactory (in view of the aforementioned rule). I did not mean to cause offence and did explain my reasoning. In the meantime I have made no further changes as discussed on the project talk page since this article may be a good example to use as the discussion on whether to amend the rule (hopefully) progresses. SempreVolando (talk) 17:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your reply and no harm done. I'm happy to abide by whatever the discussion leads to. I've copied my second comment above to the talk page, as it probably belongs better there. -- Chris j wood (talk) 17:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Clickair destinations

An editor has nominated Clickair destinations, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clickair destinations and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

incidents-manchester airport

hi, why did you remove the incident of dragonair cargo from the page. its an accident and the refernce was given —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danfearn77 (talk • contribs) 12:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, the guidelines for including an accident / incident are shown at the WikiProject Airports page and state that "Accidents or incidents should only be included if:

• The accident was fatal to either the aircraft occupants or persons on the ground.
• The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport.
• The accident invoked a change in procedures, regulations or process that had a wide effect on other airports or airlines or the aircraft industry."

This accident is therefore not relevant for inclusion. SempreVolando (talk) 13:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i thought it was relevant thats all, due to damage to aircraft etc. is the incident about the excel airways takeoff relevant then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danfearn77 (talk • contribs) 15:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

That's fair enough - the reason for the guidelines is simply to prevent airport and airline articles from becoming filled with minor incidents which happen all the time. In terms of the Excel Airways incident it is a more difficult one. I would be inclined to keep this as it was described by the AAIB as a "serious incident" with several safety recommendations made to both the CAA, NATS and Manchester Airport plc (see here), and therefore may comply with the final category for inclusion in the guidelines (invoking a change in procedures within the industry). Best to start a discussion on the article discussion page so the opinions of other editors can be sought on that one! Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 15:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, yeh thats fair enough i didnt realise it wasnt relevant enough. I was also thinking if you might know where we can get get up to date passenger numbers for manchester from. Either on a rolling 12 month time line or for the first few months in 2008. It would be good to see if there is any change but i have looked briefly and cant find anything? cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danfearn77 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The CAA statistics are really the only official ones I know of - see the CAA Stats Page. If you click on the provisional airports data you will see some January 2008 Provisional Airort Stats which shows Manchester in Jan 2008 having 1,316,690 passengers (down 0.8% on Jan 2007) and the rolling year to Jan 2008 was 21,880,737 (down 1.1% on the rolling year to Jan 2007). The provisional February 2008 stats are due to be on there on Friday next week (14th March). Hope this helps. SempreVolando (talk) 16:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport

I restored the weather link here as it appears in several Canadian airport articles. It serves as an anti-spam link as can be seen here. It links to the official NAV CANADA site rather than advertising some site. At the time (September 2007) there were two different sites that were trying to put links in for weather. I know that there had also been attempts in other airport articles to get various weather sites included. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 08:48, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

LHR Virgin Nigeria

You were asking for a source for the London Heathrow Airport mention of the Virgin Nigeria Airways service to Lagos from March 29th, which you reverted. Would this timetable do? David Biddulph (talk) 23:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi David. You're right - the flight also appears on the BAA timetable. Sorry about that - checked the VK website but saw nothing so assumed it was confusion over LGW/LHR. Feel free to re-revert. SempreVolando (talk) 23:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Oasis to MAN and DUS

Is Oasis beginning HKG-MAN and HKG-DUS flights on July 3? Users keep readding back to the destinations list with a reference that I don't find very useful. Couldn't find the flights on their website. It still has Hong Kong to London-Gatwick and Vancouver flights stilll listed but not Dusseldorf or Manchester flights on their schedules. Did they announce it? Thanks! Audude08 (talk) 15:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Audude, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, as I have now posted on the WP Airports Discussion I don't believe there is yet any reliable source other than speculation for this route commencing. Until the airline starts to sell flights or publishes a timetable or press release, it shouldn't appear on Wikipedia, so I have removed references to it. SempreVolando (talk) 07:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey SempreVolando, about the Oasis flights to DUS and MAN. It is odd that the HK airport website has the flights listed on their schedules for July 4 but neither Oasis Hong Kong Airlines's website or Manchester Airport's website mentions the said flights. Audude08 (talk) 19:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

MAN Catchment Area

First of all how seriously do you want to take yourself!? It's not the end of the world by the way, I do appologise that people from all over the UK might just want to use Manchester International at some point in their lives and that doesn't slot in nicely to your little wiki palls ideas. You can tarnish my name all you like over talk pages, but thanks for letting me know eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abfab27 (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you might take a look at Wikipeida's policy on civility? I have been perfectly polite and reasoned in my discussion with you on this topic and would therefore expect the same in return. Judging by your contibution on the discussion at the Manchester Airport page (which I politely invited, so that your views could be debated among other wikipedia editors), the policy is likely to be quite lost on you anyway.

3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Manchester Airport. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Woody (talk) 19:12, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, my apologies for this. I do not make a habit of violating the three-revert rule, with this article unfortunately I and one other editor tried hard and politely to encourage the offending editor to use the discussion page in order to come to consensus before making potentially controversial / against policy edits. Unfortunately this was to no avail as the editor Abfab27 refused to participate in any discussion on the matter, simply responding with a couple of uncivil remarks.

Re: easyJet

No worries, I noted the edit summary you left immediately, and understand the reasoning behind it before you wrote. I'm not a pilot, but it sounds to me like mechanical failure caused a compressor stall, and all the flames were just incompletely consumed fuel igniting after exiting the engine - doesn't strike me as a notable event in itself either.

Hey there, Sempre. When you are using some kind of policy or project guideline as a reason for an edit, could you please link to that project guideline or policy properly in future?

bmi Regional ICAO

Hi,

My friend is a bmi regional pilot (on the E135/45) and he assures me that their ICAO is BMA not BMR, so I feel my source is correct.

If you have anything to say, please email me at: sam.nagy@hotmail.com

Sam

SamNagy (talk) 19:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sam. Unfortunately Wikipedia requires verifiable sources, I'm not suggesting your source is incorrect however an ICAO code can only be used by one airline at once. In this case BMA is used by bmi. It may be that BMI Regional flights are operated under the BMA code, but this does not necessarily make their own allocated ICAO code BMA. I have started a discussion at the article talk page so this can be cleared up; in the meantime the code has been kept as BMR in the article as the BMA code remains unverifiable. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 19:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on BMI Regional. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Whilst you may have citations you're still over 3 revisions in under 24 hours. --Blowdart | ^talk 19:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

BMI Regional ICAO

Hi,

Do you want me to send you some realworld flightplans that feature the callsign?

Sam

SamNagy (talk) 19:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I am aware that the 'Midland' callsign and 'BMA' code are used by BMI Regional, however per my reply above this does not make their allocated ICAO code BMA, per ICAO it is BMR. This is verifiable. If you continue the discussion at Talk:BMI Regional other editors can also contribute and hopefully we can come to consensus. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 19:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

MAN

How is the ground collision between LH and Futura not "notable"? It is a collision and LH have requested even that the German equivalent to the AAIB make a report never mind just the British... so I hear. Where do you compile the rules for what is a "notable" accident? AreaControl (talk) 01:08, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. See WP:AIRPORTS article guidelines which include a section on what should / should not be included in Accidents and Incidents sections. This accident only caused minor damage to the aircraft involved and is therefore are not notable. Likewise a (very similar) incident which occured in 2004 was removed as non-notable (see AAIB report here). Therefore just because the AAIB (or national equivalent) investigate an incident and produce a report, this does not necessarily mean it is has encyclopedic notability. These guidelines were introduced to avoid Wikipedia becoming flooded with minor, non-notable aviation incidents which happen regularly all over the world. Hope that helps, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Birmingham International Airport (Retailers)

Hi,

This isn't advertising as its not in line with any particular retailer, therefore please do not remove them. Additional info such as Austin Reed & Julian Graves have been added as they opened recently, I note that the other retailers have been on BHX's wikipedia article for a long time hence no reason to remove them.

Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.37.220.150 (talk) 13:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, unfortunately this information remains non-notable and non-encyclopedic. Remember that Wikipedia is not a travel guide and as such individual resturants, shops, etc... within an airport are not notable. New shops and restaurants will open very regularly at airports around the world, but this has no encyclopedic notability. The fact retailers have been mentioned in the article for some time also has no bearing on their notability. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 14:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Thats subjective and whilst I take on board what you say the article advises of developments at airport, hardly giving directions or travel guides to people, therefore it's notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.37.220.150 (talk) 14:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Ryanair - Bournemouth Airport

Hi, just a question regarding the reverted edit about where you attained the information to revert the edit, as the Ryanair website shows that all but Turin operations are seasonal. Yellow routes indicate summer routes, blue routes indicate winter routes and grey routes indicate "year round" services. Currently, the website shows that 17 of 18 destinations appear as year round services, of which were changed within the last 2 days. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.194.179 (talk) 15:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I was using the Bournemouth Airport website (Summer / Winter Destinations Timetables). The Ryanair route map isn't very accurate when it comes to seasonal routes - if you check the timetable on the Ryanair website (Timetables) it confirms that these routes are not bookable until the summer (and Turin ceases for the summer). For example, Palma commences 31st March and ends on 24th October. Ryanair call this "year-round" on their route map! Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 15:44, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, however - i changed the routes all from seasonal to "year round". This is because the website changed the routes from seasonal to year round on the 2nd february 2009 - this is the first time that ryanair have changed the seasonal routes at Bournemouth, shortly after announcing new routes to Faro, Limoges and Reus. Before the change from seasonal to year round services, the 3 new routes were added as year round routes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.229.153 (talk) 15:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I have re-added the seasonal tags as these routes are demonstratably and verifiably seasonal per the WP:AIRPORTS definition. I have stated the points on the Bournemouth Airport talk page if you wish to make further comment there, and so that other users can read the logic and also contribute to the discussion if they wish. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 10:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

BA CityFlyer Flight 8456

Hi, you removed BA CityFlyer Flight 8456 from BA CityFlyer article. I would like to say maybe the article itself for CJ8456 is not notable but I do believe we should keep the incident on the actual CityFlyer page due to the fact the information may come in helpful, its currently being investigated by AAIB, it did cause damage to aircraft and the airport (closed airport throughout the night) and there was an injury onboard the aircraft. I'd like to add the information and references as validation if you believe it is ok. Thanks. Zaps93 (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

London City Airport

You removed two referenced entries involving accidents at the airport. Whilst neither meet WP:AIRCRASH criteria to make them notable enough to justify a separate article, they are each sufficiently notable to have an entry under the aircraft type, airline involved and airport where it happened.

Emirates Airline

Hi, the incident i had put was anotable incident for Emirates. It was the first incident of Emirates, in which the engine sparked on fire and take off was aborted. Also, broken debris was left on the runway. It is quite notable, since the Australian safety board launched an investigation, and the engine was sent back to the Rolls royce factory. I think it is quite important. So, please bring it back. (MoHasanie (talk) 19:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC))

But the aircraft did get damaged, as the engine was set on fire. The fact that the Australian safety board was involved is quite serious. You said that they're are hundreads of incidents like this, however major investigations haven't been involved. Even the engine was sent back to the rolls royce factory.(MoHasanie (talk) 19:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC))

Really, well i can't argue with that. I just thought it was important, becasue in a recent article by the Times, they mentioned this incident of emirates, and they also mentioned the johannesburgh incident, and the 2009 march melbourne incident.(MoHasanie (talk) 19:37, 29 April 2009 (UTC))

Hi SempreVolando, I don't get why you cut my edit? Why leaving other incidents and not adding new ones? The incident has a source, and passengers need to get transparent news. Do you have any interests in protecting Ryanair, as you are a pilot yourself? I'll unedit the page, and will add in a near future more incidents related to Ryanair as I feel like people try to hide these information. Let's talk if you disagree with my edit.

Deletion to Incidents - City of Derry Airport

Greetings SempreVolando

Being a new editor, I now understand your reason for the deletion of the two, what you might call minor, incidents. You are certainly in accordance with wiki policy.

Would you consider allowing them on the basis that they are major in terms of the operation of this particular airport? I make this proposal as a gesture of goodwill on the basis that I believe no-one else would mind.--Cyber Fox 12:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

You are too quick to delete

I am editing the article, give me a break! --Cyber Fox (talk) 16:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

See BA trouble over Concorde tribute

London City Airport and BA made a big fan fare about this inaugural flights. Hence relevant.

http://www.wharf.co.uk/2009/09/ba-trouble-over-concorde-tribu.html

You can add above reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.29.37.129 (talk) 20:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the reference. It is not the inaugural flights which I feel are not relevant, they are mentioned in the article already, it is the opinion of the group Campaigners for the return of Concorde. All Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view and so if this is deemed relevant the opinion of British Airways must also be included to provide balance to the article. However I still maintain that the issue has little encyclopedic relevance.

In the meantime I have started a discussion at the article talk page so that other editors can provide their opinion and we can gain consensus on the issue. Please feel free to add your view there. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 20:50, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Ireland West Airport Knock Editing

I was just giving info about the routes that were available in 2008 and now. Isn't it worth mentioning that a route to Glasgow was available in 2008 with Bmibaby? It is technically info about the airport, not a travel guide. Isn't it worth mentioning the connecting service to Cork via Dublin with Aer Arann? I see information at the beginning of the Recent Years section about MyTravel's service to Birmingham! Isn't that info about a route? It's not a travel guide. I see other people in the past have had bother with editing of pages. I think we should come to a consensus about the Aer Arann connecting route being in the Ireland West Airport article.

Jamesliveproductions —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesliveproductions (talk • contribs) 21:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. The problem is understanding what Wikipedia is designed to be, and what it isn't. Encyclopedic airport articles are designed to provide things like historic information, location, notable events. etc... They are not designed to list a history of what routes have been operated by airlines at the airport over the years, unless those have some encyclopedic notability (like the first scheduled flights, the first transatlantic flights etc..). You are right to say there is no logic to the MyTravelLite Birmingham service, it has no particular relevance and should be removed.

In terms of the Aer Arann route, WikiProject Airports is quite clear that only non-stop and direct flights should be listed in airport article destinations lists. "List non-stop and direct flights only. That means the flight number and the aircraft, starts at this airport and continues to one or more airports." - this means the Aer Arann Cork service should not be included as an aircraft change is required en-route at Dublin. If you disagree with the project guidelines you should take that up at the project talk page. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 17:43, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, can I just say, isn't there significance in the information about the Ryanair route to Alicante, as it is the first scheduled route to a European destination?

Castle Donington

You said: "Revert: Never heard of anyone refer to an airline's HQ location with reference to an administrative district! Can't see the relevance of this."

Is Castle Donington an incorporate municipality? Or is it just a place name? WhisperToMe (talk) 00:26, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Castle Donington is a place (a town/village), in which BMI's headquarters are located. My edit to the article did not remove reference to Castle Donington, but to North West Leicestershire, which is an administrative district, whose location and in particular boundaries are unlikely to be familiar to most people. It is also of little relevance to the BMI article, as it is not a place. Hope this makes sense? SempreVolando (talk) 17:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I am aware that North West Leicestershire was removed. What I was getting at was, Does Castle Donington have a recognized municipal government? If it does, then North West Leicestershire would be not necessary. If it does not, and it is entirely under the jurisdiction of North West Leicestershire, then North West Leicestershire would be necessary as it would be the local government. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I fail to see why this is necessary. I can't see any reference in WP:AIRLINES or WP:COMPANIES stating that it is necessary or preferable to state the local authority / administrative local government of the town / city in which a company elects to have it's headquarters located. In my view it is irrelevant and not preferable as the names of these local government areas are often misleading and likely to be familiar to very few editors. The important and relevant information is the geographical location only. North West Leicestershire District Council has no juristiction or governance over BMI, and has nothing to do with the operation of the airline, except that BMI will pay corporate taxes (known as 'business rates') to the council for their headquarters building. In return, the council basically provide a regular waste collection to the company at this location. What relevance does this have to an encyclopedic article about a company?

Malaga Airport Expert (And Page Improvements)

Hello SempreVolando

As you have may already noticed, since I've joined Wikipedia, the Malaga Airport page has had a massive expansion. The reason is that I am an expert of Malaga Airport. It is my favourite airport and i have flown the airport 11 times, going for the 12th this Easter. If you're ever lost or need help about the airport, you know who to ask.

Just need to know, is there any Improvements i can do to this page? Keep in mind that there is some things I might not be able to resource as they can be very complicated to resource, like the gate numbers being changed. (The page with the information gets deleted two hours after the flight leaves)

Thank You

Edinburgh AIrport and Birmingham Airport

Well, according to this article: http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Edinburgh-airport-overtakes-Birmingham-to.6157492.jp, it states that EDI has overtaken BHX as being the 6th busiest airport in the UK. Snoozlepet (talk) 18:04, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Can we keep an eye on this? The scotsman in the source above got its information directly from EDI which is hardly reliable as any airport is going to "big itself up" to the local media. The official CAA stats show BHX 6th, EDI 7th. [1]

The reference from the Scotsman refers to the latest (provisional) data published by the CAA for February 2010 (here), wheras the Wikipedia airport articles (and the busiest airports article) refer to final statistics for the full year 2009 (Jan-Dec). The latest data (though not final yet) shows that Edinburgh moved into 6th place for the 1st March 2009 to 28th February 2010 period with 9,022,434 passengers vs. 9,014,372 for Birmingham. The problem is that airports with passenger totals close to one another will inevitably overtake one another and 'flip-flop' in the rankings from time to time if rolling year to date figures are used. Wikipedia articles on the other hand aren't there to provide a 'running commentary' and so generally only look at whole year statisitics. The statements in both airport articles on their ranking in the UK are clearly correct as they are based on 2009 statistics. When the February 2010 statistics are made final (and published here) it may be worthy of a comment in the statistics section of the Edinburgh airport article, but it should not replace the correct statement in the lead section which refers to 2009. SempreVolando (talk) 11:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Up until now, the rankings on here have been based on Annual reports rather than the monthly ones. Even if the monthly report says that EDI is 6th, the official monthly report isn't released until 22 March, so changing the stats now is speculative. It's worth a mention, but not changing lead paragraphs over, because as you say, there may be leap frogging every month (could you imagine all the tables in the busiest airports article if all the monthly numbers were continuously published there?!) _Will^Dow (Talk) 12:02, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I will contact the airline to ask whether the latest configurations can be uploaded there and see what they say. SempreVolando (talk) 13:59, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Images & B757-200

Hi again

Just asking, how do you add images from websites from wikipedia?

Also, when you deleted the possible orders of a B757 for Monarch, the reason i did not reference it is because one of the cabin crew told me that Monarch are looking for some more 757's.

thanks --MKY661 (talk) 19:47, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Largest Operators

Hi. you know when you deleted the monarch largest operator thing? well i read the message on the history page, so do you want me to add the information you said to all of the UK airlines.

Eg Thomas Cook is the largest A330 operator in the UK, BA is the largest B747 operator in the UK etc.

thanks

--MKY661 (talk) 15:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, no what I was saying was that almost every airline is the largest (or sole) operator of a certain type in their country - so the fleet tables would be full of these notes if we did it by country. Being the largest operator in the world of a particular aircraft type is notable and is usually included (e.g. Delta is the largest B757 operator in the world), but including it by country is too much. Thomas Cook, for example, is the largest (and only) UK operator of the B757-300, but with only 2 in the fleet it's hardly noteworthy. Hope this makes sense? Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

That's been driving me batty ;-)

I live 20 minutes from the airport, so I don't get too concerned about the current services (as I see them whenever I pass the airport...) but the uncited future schedules annoy me, particularly as it seems to be just one or two uncommunicative users doing it.

Ryanair

Why have you removed Ryanair as a hub at Standsted. It is the airlines largest hub with over 40 ac based and over 100 routes served from the airprot. Jamie2k9 (talk) 20:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Ryanair have a large base at Stansted, but it is not a hub per the airline definition. You cannot book a ticket from Glasgow Prestwick to Agadir via London Stansted on Ryanair for example, you must purchase two separate tickets. It is not the same as British Airways at Heathrow or Lufthansa at Frankfurt, where this is possible and quite common. These are examples of a hub operation. Low-cost airlines like Ryanair and easyJet don't have hubs, just bases. Hope that makes sense. SempreVolando (talk) 20:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

That report, on it's own, does not meet criteria I agree.

Making deletions at Dublin Airport

First of all congratulations on your excellent user page and I am jealous that I never achieved my boyhood dream of becoming a pilot and ended up an accountant! Turning to less important matters, I noticed that you deleted a piece on the contract awarded to run bookshops at the new terminla 2 at Dublin airport. This featured on a number of media outlets including Ireland's largest selling newspaper and it shows either stupidity on the part of the management or sharp practise on the part of WH Smith (the truth being somewhere between the two) and is worthy of inclusion. Nonetheless I would welcome your thoughts before engaging in an edit war. Skreen (talk) 12:07, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

How do you make graphs because i need to add the 2010 statistics to the graph at malaga. (Yes AENA have revealed the 2010 statistics)

--MKY661 (talk) 23:53, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I create the graphs myself and upload them. Normally I wait until final full year statistics are published for most airports (in the UK this happens around mid-March). Since AENA are far quicker than other countries at publishing final stats I will try to update the Malaga and Palma graphs this evening. SempreVolando (talk) 00:04, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

OK thanks. I will also consider making a statistics table for Alicante As well.

I have also noticed that a citation needed for the average age of the Jet2 737-800 fleet. What i did to find it (Its on the same page on the website) and it tells you the age of the aircraft (There is only one 737-800 in the fleet at the moment).

Etihad incident

Re your removal, why is the incident not notable enough to mention? I agree that it is not notable enough for a stand-alone article, but the escorting of the aircraft to Stansted by the RAF should give enough notability for a mention. According to Pprune, the unruly passenger made a bomb threat. Either this has not been picked up by RSs yet, or it is a rumour. Which is why I didn't add the info. Mjroots (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, WP:AIRPORTS and WP:AIRLINES has guidelines for the notability of aircraft accidents / incidents and their inclusion on these pages. Largely, non-notable or minor incidents are excluded so that these articles do not become cluttered with minor, non-notable events such as this one, which while relatively rare do happen from time to time. See the criteria here. Basically, incidents / accidents should be fatal or result in a hull loss to qualify. Thanks SempreVolando (talk) 16:32, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm well versed in the various notability debates. An accident does not have to result in a hull loss or even substantial damage to qualify for an article. I believe the rarity of the event gives sufficient notability for a mention, but not an article. Will raise the issue at WT:AV where you are welcome to comment. Mjroots (talk) 16:35, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok that's fine. It would go against the project guide to include it though, which was introduced some years ago (after much debate and discussion). Will happily comment on any new proposal however. Airborne intercepts of civil jets by military aircraft are much less common than you think by the way, the airline I work for had 2 last year alone over Europe. In some countries during the busy summer months, there is more than one per day. They usually come about because of loss of communications issues but disruptive passenger incidents are even more common than intercepts sadly! Thanks.

EasyJet fleet

There's already 2 references: CAA, and Airbus O&D. The last one gives the figures I updated (or tried to update...), as well as do Airfleets and CH-Aviation (that I'm adding right now). Note also that when reverting the fleet total, you're also reverting the number of orders that the CAA reference doesn't reference at all (figures from Airbus O&D, obviously up-to-date). Slasher-fun (talk) 16:03, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Airbus A330/A340 photos

Hello SempreVolando, thanks for your time in advance :) Since you're also a pilot on the A330, do you mind taking a photo of the cockpit, similar to File:Airbus A380 Qantas Cockpit.JPG. Regarding the wing, I'd like two photos of the both aeroplane models (A330 and A340) from a front-on angle, encompassing the whole wing from tip to tip, like this page this page. Please make them as similar as possible, because I'm thinking of placing both of them next to each other so the reader could compare them. If I need a picture of aeroplane parts in the future, do you mind lending me a hand? I won't be needing a lot, just now and then.

Why remove IATA codes?

I added the IATA codes to the list of busiest airports because they were very useful to me. I was searching for flights using the "Matrix Airfare Search" in ITA software. I wanted to make a list of large airports to find good flights, and I realized that one good approach would be to work from this Wikipedia page. So I added the IATA codes to help other people --- besides, the US version of the same page has the same codes. I don't think that it's helpful to remove it just because the information exists elsewhere; it's a very small amount of extra space on the page and it truly does serve a purpose for some people.

A cup of tea for you!

Hello. Thanks for your concern in contents about the recent issue of Qatar Airways and Juneyao Airlines. The indicent, which Juneyao Airlines refuse to give way to a Mayday aircraft and risked deadly air crash in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, is the first case in civil aviation history, also caused hot argument in public. Although the emergency landing succeed and no fatalities, the indicent was reported very widely by media, well known by people in a short time. There is over 700,000 pages in Chinese, over 200,000 pages in English and over 10,000 pages in Japanese about this indicent. This case is not finished yet and continue widely noticed by public. Today, the pilot has been cancelled the license and the airline has been punished. I have read the guideline you provided that I realized this content probably not meet the "Accident". However, in my opinion it is really notable, and not off from Wikipedia:Notability so Wikipedia should contain it. I am not sure if it should create a single page or simply add to existing page, I referred Chinese version that it has been created only a paragraph in airline pages. I would like to ask for your opinion, about this case, if it should be wrote or not, or write in which form or place. Thank you. Hitomi (talk) 06:57, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

About indicent of Qatar Airways and Juneyao Airlines

Sorry to bother you again, since I didn't received any reply or comment for last message.

The indicent, which Juneyao Airlines refuse to give way to a Qatar Airways "Mayday" aircraft and risked deadly air crash in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, recently reviewed by several users in English wikipedia and other language projects, are considered as "extremely noteworthly"[2], etc. Also with the reasons of the impact in public and social climate, I think this content should be kept although it may not formed an "accident"(Of course, may be not wrote in "accident" section).

Chrisieboy (talk) 10:08, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Ok no harm done, it's just my opinion! I think it looks messy that's all. I note the examples you use are all financial institutions, where trading / brand names may differ from ownership due to takeovers. Just because there are other wikipedia articles which use a different format, doesn't make it the right one! Following the same logic wouldn't we have to change the airline name above the infobox to things like Flybe Group PLC t/a Flybe or Jet2.com Limited t/a Jet2? I just don't think that's in the sprit of the concise summary the infobox is designed to provide, particularly when trading names and ownership details can be done to death elsewhere in the article. In any event, the issue should be raised on the article discussion page to gain consensus from a few other editors. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 10:59, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi SempreVolando! We need some consensus quickly regarding listing of UA/CO destinations in airport articles. Please come to comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#CO.2FUA_SOC_2011-11-30 at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, HkCaGu (talk) 04:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Listing of London Southend Airport as a destination

An IP continues to change the destination for London Southend Airport in airport pages it will fly to. Don't know if Southend Airport is considered a London airport. Snoozlepet (talk) 21:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

New Airline Format

I don't appreciate you undoing edits on many of the airline pages. I have no problem discussing this with you but you don't undo an edit and just give 2 words if its a change in format. I am 100% willing to listening to your excuses and reasonings but there needs to be discussion before changing it. I changed it to the new format after the new format actually came out so there was no need for a long discussion as it was the actual new format. Cali4529 (talk) 04:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The format does not comply with WP:AIRLINES infobox format criteria. You are welcome to start a discussion there is you think it should be changed. We don't need a collapsable 3-line space in the infobox for a field which is only supposed to contain one number. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 04:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

You can see this being snotty but it is not meant to be so, can you show me where it says it in you WP:Airlines link because I can't find it. Cali4529 (talk) 04:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

See Template:Infobox airline, it lists the infobox categories and states what each should contain. In this case fleet_size: The number of aircraft currently in service (delivered, in service aircraft only - no orders, purchase options or aircraft in desert storage). In the meantime I've started a discussion at WP:AIRLINES inviting comment in case other editors agree with your format, as the template would have to be changed if so. Thanks SempreVolando (talk) 04:44, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Graphs

Hello SempreVolando. Just asking will you be making your Graps again this year for the total passenger numbers? Reason I asked was because Aena now have their statistics for 2011 and i have added some to Wiki (AGP, ALC, PMI, LPA, TFS & TFN). I will also get some more done tomorrow. Thanks --MKY661 (talk) 19:27, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi MKY661. Actually the statistics published by Aena are provisional 2011 totals, not final figures which aren't released until around May each year. While it's useful to include them in articles, they must be noted as 2011 (provisional). In the same sense it isn't really worth doing the graphs until final figures are released as they do sometimes change quite a bit. The UK provisional 2011 stats will also be released next week but the same applies. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 20:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok no problem. Just done a few more (ACE, IBZ, FUE & BIO) and I have said that they are provisional. Thanks MKY661 (talk) 18:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

IAA

hi, Should the number of aircraft movements be based on commercial terminal flights or all flights, the figures on DUB page for 2010 are all but I have added 2011 commercial terminal flights only as don't have data for all flights. Which should it be? Jamie2k9 (talk) 23:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Aircraft Movements should include all take-offs and landings at an airport (regardless of type). The term for commercial flights only is Air Transport Movements. What is your source for the movements data? If it's IAA, it seems they have stopped reporting total movements and now only report on commercial movements, so we might have to annotate the data differently. Thanks.

Air France

Per WP:EW, please DO NOT REVERT the IP. I appreciate it can be frustrating, but there are other editors about who are free to revert. I'll take a closer look at this myself and maybe semi the article to force discussion at talk. Mjroots (talk) 07:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Manx 2 Jetstream accident

The last sentence of the source's blurb states "The aircraft sustained substantial damage." Please revert your removal of the accident from the articles. Mjroots (talk) 13:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

You're quite right sorry I missed that entirely! It may still be an issue with Aviation Herald's "sensationalist" language (it's not the most reliable of sources at the best of times particularly on new incidents). In the picture it doesn't look too bad, but with older types like this, it could also easily be a write-off. I've restored the incident let's keep an eye on subsequent reports, especially AAIB in time. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 13:47, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert. Of course, other websites are available, such as Aviation Safety Network, and the BBC. Apparently the incident made The Sun today, or so I was told. I doubt that the incident is notable enough for a stand alone article, but it is worth mentioning. Mjroots (talk) 16:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

List of the busiest airports in the Republic of Ireland by total passenger traffic

Has the page been moved for consistancy or another reason? Its just that the title seems a bit long and over descriptive? If you could reply on the articles talkpage it would be good. Thanks.Murry1975 (talk) 12:40, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

World's busiest airports

Hello. Could you express your opinion here about the Guangzhou airport.--178.162.75.63 (talk) 21:59, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Flybe

Hi! I noticed this edit - You said "Removed previously, abnormal convention to state Local Authority Area"

I don't understand what is going on. Exeter municipality and East Devon municipality are two separate places. The airport is within East Devon, not Exeter. The company head office is on the airport property. WhisperToMe (talk) 16:08, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, the issue is that East Devon is not a place, it is a local government / local authority area. The article already states that the airline is based in Devon (the accepted geographical county with which most are likely to be familiar). It is not normal on Wikipedia to state the local authority area a company is based in. Thanks. SempreVolando (talk) 11:21, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Humberside Airport

Good afternoon

I am afraid that I dont agree with your removal of the KLM detail. This is a FACT, not promotional and not incorrect. If the page is allowed to show a reduction in overall pax numbers, then why, with respect, is it not allowed to expand on the numbers and provide detail that gives greater depth of information? The H4U collapse is also relevant.

You state that its not neutral. I would argue that the removal of the detail provides an unbalanced view.

The 10k plus increase for KLM during the last 12 months is, I believe, an important piece of information which is neither promotional nor inflammatory.

Why also delete the point about the airport having its own fuel farm?

Clearly you are a highly experienced contributor; non the less, as you neither fly, operate or work from HUY I would like you to explain why you felt this huge edit was required?
