Talk:Qeshm Air

Untitled

I started a Talk page for Pouya Cargo Airlines in part because it is confusing, in large part because the name changes don't seem to be reflected on a complete fleet of aircraft. It appears to me that "Qeshm Air" is a still-operating airline, with its own Wikipedia page. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qeshm_Airlines and linked pages such as here: https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/54450-irans-qeshm-air-adds-maiden-a319

Similarly, Yas Air seems to keep up a separate existence, so far as I can tell from a Google search. And Pars Air seems to have begun circa 1958 per Wikipedia, being rebranded as Pars Air circa 1970 and later rebranded as Iran Aseman Airlines, although Pars Air seems to still have a web page in Iran for domestic locations. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Aseman_Airlines http://www.parsairlines.com/Default.asp?lang=en# versus http://www.pars-air.ir/fa/ versus http://www.iaa.ir/ and then you get to http://www.worldhistory.biz/contemporary-history/76840-pars-air-company-iran-1969-1980-established-in-1969-as-a.html which says "In 1980, the new Islamic government takes the company in hand and merges it with Air Taxi Company to form Iran Asseman Airlines" And also see https://aviation-safety.net/database/operator/airline.php?var=5960 which taken together could be the source of the Wikipedia assertion that Pars became Iran Aseman Airlines, even though Pars Air seems to have its own continued existence. And this page http://www.iranwatch.org/iranian-entities/yas-air is at least explanatory, even if its neutrality is questionable.

Which gets us back to Pouya, mentioned here http://www.iranwatch.org/library/governments/united-states/executive-branch/department-treasury/treasury-targets-networks-linked-iran-0 in the text: "In late 2012, Yas Air changed its name to Pouya Air, reflecting the third name change for this company since it began operations in 2000 as Qeshm Air. The first name change was to Pars Air in 2006 and later to Yas Air in 2008."

My considered opinion is that the IRGC is using these names to get around sanctions from Western governments and that these recent reincarnations of old Iranian airline names are really just different fronts for the same IRGC operation. Thus I would propose merging all relevant articles about recent incarnations of these names into one article, splitting off any articles (with appropriate reference links like "This article is about the historical airline known as Pars air. See "xxxx" for more recent uses of the name.") about historical airline operations under the same names which have older dates of founding, etc. But I'm not sure enough to begin this project on my own without some consensus from the powers that be here, so here is my talk about this subject.

Can you put the picture allined to InfoBox in Vertical ?

Qeshm Air Airbus A300-600

to

Qeshm Air Airbus A300-600

see if 280px reach the vertical line. The miss-match appearance seems not professional. Thanks & Regards 188.96.57.201 (talk) 11:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 Not done Hi @188.96.57.201: it is considered common practice not to manually change the image size. Although the image might look a bit off on your device, specifying a size may result in the image not being properly displayed on other devices. You can read more about this at Wikipedia:Image size.

It is ok Daylan, up to you, it is your page, so you decide. Thanks for explaining — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.96.57.201 (talk) 11:07, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
