Regional edit

The word "Regional" is not in the new name of the airport, according to the second cite (in English). I don't read Arabic – can someone confirm what the first cite says? How about the actual government press release? The only Google hits for the various permutations of "Prince {Naif|Nayef} bin {Abdul Aziz|AbdulAziz} [Regional] Airport" are thousands for "Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz Airport" and just one for "Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport". —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 10:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I understand that the airport may be "regional" (though even that classification is doubtful, given the international flights). What I'm looking for is the actual, official name given by the government and a source to cite. From my initial research, I suspect the word "regional" is no longer part of the name and that we need to fix and move the page. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 16:10, 4 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Destinations edit

As of this revision (at 2012-08-04T15:53:04Z) of Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport, I had researched and cited each of the destinations flown to from this airport, removing several in the process.

User:89.211.136.130, in 3 edits ending at 2012-08-05T19:49:33Z, removed my carefully-researched cites and added destinations (LHR by two carriers, BAH, Medan, Surabaya), for which I can find no evidence of flights existing. I attempted to use his talk page to work it out, but got no response. Assuming good faith, language could be an issue – the IP address is registered in Qatar.

At 2012-08-07T00:27:29Z, User:72.89.35.142 then replaced LHR, Medan, and Surabaya via QR with Doha (also no evidence of a flight there).

Ending at 2012-08-09T16:09:41‎Z, another IP user (User:2.90.15.72) then reverted the last edit, and removed the other LHR (correctly!)

Ending at 2012-08-09T23:09:11‎Z, another IP user (User:212.118.143.32) then added Nesma Airlines to Cairo – also apparently incorrect. They have only 2 A320s, and fly CAI–TIF and CAI–TUU according to their website.

I'm reverting the destination table back to the way I had it (at 2012-08-04T15:53:04Z). Please – if anyone wants to add/edit/delete destinations, make sure you are looking at a direct (i.e. only one aircraft, not necessarily non-stop), non-codeshare flight (as documented somewhere in WP:WikiProject Airports) and cite your source (hopefully the carrier's official timetable). —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 22:29, 14 August 2012 (UTC) (edited by AlanM1 to add times at 22:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC))Reply

Less than two hours after posting the above, fixing the article, and notifying the involved IP users at their talk pages (at 2012-08-15T00:23:56Z), User:72.89.35.142 added carrier QR again, with a (non-existent by all sources) flight to DOH, without explanation anywhere. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 22:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've once again removed the non-existent QR flight to Doha. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 23:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
