Can somebody take a look at Sälen/Scandinavian Mountains Airport? The most recent edits make me very uneasy due to a promo concern but I am hesitant to revert.

Thanks for vigilance, I share your concerns! But at a quick glance I can see nothing untoward, nothing blatantly unacceptable, and I do see a lot of references, generally a good sign, though I did not check them.

There is a request to merge Lannion Airfield into Lannion–Côte de Granit Airport as coverage of the same topic, if it interests anybody here.

This is in reference to Talk:Nashville International Airport#Vacation Express. I'd say no since they only follow a single plane once. Ought to indicate it's a regularly scheduled flight.

I am confused on when an airline announces a route, how do we know if it is a resumption of service or if it is a new route? Most airlines will announce a route as “new” when in reality it is not.

Who cares? Is it more than a semantical matter? Important is to know the current situation, history is for historicians.

Agree, we go by what the source says. If the source says resumption then use "resumes" if the source says it is a new route then use "begins". 2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8 (talk) 18:53, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241118185300","author":"2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8-20241118185300-Jan_olieslagers-20241117180600","replies":[]}}-->

This user continues to add that Turkish Airlines will start service between Istanbul and Lima starting in June of next year. Me and several other editors have removed it referring him to the project page and discussion based on consensus but he continues to argue against it.

@Jan olieslagers: I think at Jorge Chávez International Airport and Istanbul Airport if that's what you mean where. 2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8 (talk) 18:52, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241118185200","author":"2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-2600:1700:8544:D000:9D0E:3239:A3E:70F8-20241118185200-Jz0610-20241117161200","replies":[]}}-->

Airport pages use International_Report_Passengers from the US Department of Transportation for the Busiest international routes sections. The data listed on the International_Report_Passengers page is in different format, vs what is found on the wikipedia page. What is the best way to obtain the data for that section? The "Busiest domestic routes from ***" section is just copying numbers over. Thanks.
