Helios hq

I've removed the bit that said Helios had their headquarters on airport property. The address given was "22 Nietzsche Street, Ria Court 9, 1st Floor P.O. Box 43028, CY-6028 Larnaca Airport (sic), Cyprus", which is here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=34.893077,33.634984&num=1&t=m&z=16 --Lfdder (talk) 14:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Error in account of the 1978 Battle of Larnaca Airport

I propose to change this section to show that the gunmen were NOT members of the PLO, but rather PLO officials were among the hostages and became involved in negotiations alongside Cypriot negotiators, in accordance with this account, which I believe to be correct: http://www.gloria-center.org/2009/06/dimitrakis-2009-06-07/ Amity1844 (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

TUI Small planet flights

These flights are operated for TUI the travel company and not the airline TUI Deutschland, it is the same circumstances as the TUI Netherlands flight to paphos from amsterdam they sell flights for Transavia but they aren't operated for the airline. The flights that small planet provide are charters for the TUI travel company as part of a package holiday they are NOT operated for the airline directly if they were they would operate under the TUI Deutschland flight number and callsign which they do not they operate under the small planet flight number and callsign.

@Wappy2008: Also it has been stated that "you can't state flights as charter if they've are on sale by certain airline". The airline sells seats on charter flights that are operated for TUI travel, the airline sells seats on Flyegypt charter flights to hurghada that doesn't mean they aren't charter because the airline is selling seats on them. Basically you're not understanding that the airline sells seats on behalf of the TUI travel company for charter flights like the small planet flights which are operated under the small plant flight code and callsign which means they are not operated for TUI fly Deutschland because if they were they would use their callsign which they clearly don't if you do your research you would realise this. The airline also sells flights on behalf of Condor are you going to include a little section of flights that they operate saying they're operated for TUI? the answer is not just because an airline sells the flights that doesn't mean they are operated for them.

@Jetstreamer: Could you please help to resolve this as the other user is not understanding what I'm saying and has started an edit war I have asked them multiple times to take to talk but are not cooperating, thanks. CBG17 (Talk) 21:023, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Rename

Since 2016, The airport's name has been Larnaca International Airport – Glafcos Clerides ([1], [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ανδρέας Κρυστάλλης (talk • contribs) 21:17, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Identical case to Charles de Gaulle Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport Ανδρέας Κρυστάλλης (talk) 21:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

You need demonstate that the changed name fits WP:COMMONNAME the official name is not really what matters. The JFK and CDG examples are what the airport is widely known as - it is not clear that in this case Glafcos Clerides is what the airport is widely known by. Andrewgprout (talk) 21:50, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

A quick google tests get only 29 mentions for larnaca airport +glafcos. Hardly an endorsement for such a move. Andrewgprout (talk) 22:35, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ανδρέας Κρυστάλλης: Also - it is entirely inapproriate that you restored the name change to your preferred name during a discussion on the topic. You should self revert your change straight away otherwise this could easily be construed as a disruptive and/or edit waring.Andrewgprout (talk) 21:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Well many people still use Mao Tse-Tung, not Mao Zedong and Bombay, not Mumbai, but we correctly use the official names. The city of Krasnoarmiisk in Ukraine was renamed Pokrovsk recently, and Wiki duly renamed the article Pokrovsk. As the airport has been renamed only recently (in 2016), it is natural that it won't have so many English Google searches. But in these cases (cities, airports) we use official names. Glafcos Clerides is now used ever more commonly among us native Greek Cypriots, and naturally that will soon be the case internationally as well. Do you believe that we should wait another 7-8 years or so (to rename the article) for it to become prevailing? Also, compare the situation with Charles de Gaulle, which is called Roissy (from the local neighborhood) by some Frenchmen.

I will not self-revert my contribution, as I consider it a normal, non-controversial, self-explanatory edit (a place being officially renamed); but I won't revert you if you decide to change it, agreeing to find a solution here, perhaps with some input from other interested users. Ανδρέας Κρυστάλλης (talk) 23:27, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately your reply does not deal with how yor edit fits within WP:COMMONNAME so the argument you make is irrelevant, other stuff exists is not an argument. Also of note this is English Wikipedia and commonname says the name should be based on what is normal in English Language sources so what Greek Cypriots call it is also immaterial. Your refusal to abide by the guidance of Wikipedia consensus is disruptive. Andrewgprout (talk) 23:37, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

I already explained my arguments above. They seem crystal clear to me. This is a place officially renamed, and the new name is now used and accepted by all relevant international organizations. Again, I ask you: should we wait another 7-8 years or so for the new name to become prevailing in Google searches and then rename the article? (Again, Charles de Gaulle Airport is still known as Roissy among many Frenchmen, yet the relevant artile correctly uses the airport's official name). I already said that I agree in finding a solution here, with the input from all other interested users. If other users and/or administrators decide and conclude that Wikipedia should not use the airport's new official name, then that will be it. Personally I don't see anything controversial or strange in the whole issue: it was Larnaca and it officially became Larnaca - Glafcos Clerides. Larnaca wasn't deleted; Clerides was added. Cheers.

Andrewgprout is a known instigator of edit wars (check his past history) Please refrain from arguing with his nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.200.146.73 (talk) 22:23, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Can an administrator please look at the above users recent stalking activity as evidenced above. Thanks Andrewgprout (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

I am most definitely reviewing all of Andrew’s edits as he is a known instigator of edit wars. All vandalism will be reverted without apologies. Administrators, please review Andrew’s disruptive behaviour and seek input from other concerned users. If a temporary ban is necessary to stop vandalism, please proceed.24.200.146.73 (talk) 22:32, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

This is an article rename discussion, not a place for you to act like a victim.

There is no evidence this article should have been moved. WP:COMMONNAME clearly states the airport name to just be "Larnaca International Airport". To the first user who changed the name, please follow WP:BRD. I will be reverting your edits and encourage constructive discussion here, as clearly your edit has been challenged. Garretka (talk) 03:29, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, Garretka, you can read my arguments for renaming the article just above. They seem very clear, logical and non-controversial to me. Check these sources out, as well ([3], [4] Ανδρέας Κρυστάλλης (talk) 03:46, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm not disagreeing with you the name of the airport has changed. What you haven't satisfied is that the common name of the airport has changed. That's great your arguements make sense to you, but per the discussion taking place at WT:AIRPORTS#move of Larnaca International Airport page to Larnaca International Airport - Glafcos Clerides against WP:COMMONNAME, there are other users who don't agree with your move. Please respect WP:BRD. Garretka (talk) 03:50, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

 Administrator note I have temporarily protected this page such that only administrators may rename/move the article. Please ensure that before renaming article again, you have established a consensus to do so on this talk page – to do so, you should use the requested moves process. Thank you.

Azur Air flights are missing

Hey, Ajf773, Aviation999, Wappy2008. What's wrong with Azur Air flights so they are now missing in the table? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akrus (talk • contribs) 14:06, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Suspended flights

I suggest to restore three airlines with suspended flights. Someone is removing them, based on what - in my opinion - is a personal opinion. But suspended flights are not cut, as that editor and an IP-farm claim. The Banner talk 09:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

So, no objections to restoring? (Except the editor who is removing those destinations) The Banner talk 19:38, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
