Wrong flag?

edit

The entry here for Wizz Air Ukraine is shwon next to a Bulgarian flag - is this a mistake, or is there something I'm not aware of?? Maelli (talk) 16:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Latam Airlines Group and US Airways

edit

As of today (4 December 2015), the table shows Latam Airlines Group with 109 total A320 family airframes (25 A319, 72 A320 and 12 A321). It also shows TAM Airlines with 132 airframes (28 A319, 83 A320 and 21 A321). The LATAM Group (actually all-uppercase) comprises the LAN Group (based in Chile, with subsidiaries in several other South American countries) and TAM from Brazil. Since there is no separate entry for any of the LAN airlines or for the whole LAN Group, I suppose the name is incorrect and what is called "Latam" here is only the LAN-branded airlines. Should we correct the name or merge "Latam" with TAM?

The LAN-branded airlines and TAM are all going to be unified into a single LATAM brand, but the integration process will take up to three years from now, and at least for some time, the airlines will still operate with different certificates, registrations, and IATA/ICAO codes. What do we do?

The US Airways case is even worse, as the airline officially no longer exists - it has been fully incorporated into American Airlines (some aircraft still have the US Airways livery, but even they all operate with AA crews, flight numbers and certificates now). --UrsoBR (talk) 10:36, 4 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

With the publication of the November 2015 Airbus O&D data, I have added a note to the LATAM entry and with Airbus still listing US Airways and American separately have combined those totals with another note of explanation. SempreVolando (talk) 10:24, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

What about non-airline operators?

edit

This list is apparently for airline users only - what about non-airline users such as governments? Where are they listed?Nigel Ish (talk) 16:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Governments; Executive And Private Jets and Undisclosed customers are shown in the table, but their fleets are not broken down further as Airbus do not provide such detail. SempreVolando (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
There are sources other than Airbus, so they shouldn't be omitted just because a single primary source fails to give details. Other airliner articles do specify government operators.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Not suggesting they shouldn't be further detailed / broken down, just explaining why they are not currently. If reliable sources can be found, then a dedicated section for these operators would certainly be welcome! SempreVolando (talk) 18:02, 28 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Chart Layout

edit

Can this chart layout be done for 737 operators as well? The 737 page is outdated, messy. There should be same chart layout for 737 operators — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:44:4203:3A30:355C:9BC7:258F:2C03 (talk) 01:22, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Former airline operators

edit

Now that the former operator chart lists specific numbers of aircraft, it really needs citations. Suggest adding a "Source" column in the chart; if most of the information is pulled from a single source, I would add a disclaimer like "Data from {XYZ} unless otherwise noted."
