Are you sure this was a Union des Transports Aériens plane? As far as I know, the French UTA has been out of business for a very long time, the comfusion could be that both United Transit Airlines and Union share the same three initials, UTA.

The full name of the airline is Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée, or UTAGE. Yes, its a different airline, but the name is also in French. WhisperToMe 03:57, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Bight of Benin

Did the plane crash into the Bight (i.e. the water) or onto the beach. The article does not make that clear. Griffinofwales (talk) 19:28, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I recently came back to this article for research on a completely unrelated topic, and took the time to read the full (translated) report on the incident. It appears that the main body of the plane ended up in the ocean, but that there was debris on the beach.

Name of the Airline

Latest comment: 3 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The final report[1] and news articles from the time[2][3][4] both use 'Union des Transports Africains' and the acronym 'UTA'. This also matches what was written on the airline's planes.[5] Where does the name 'Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée', or the acronym 'UTAGE', come from then? The closest I could find were two articles from FlightGlobal that used 'Union des Transports Africains de Guinée' and the acronym 'UTAG'.[6][7] Looking closer, I found that 'Union des Transports Africains de Guinée' is used twice in the final report (pages 44 and 68) and appears to be the airline's full legal name, though the report still uses the acronym 'UTA' throughout. Should this article, and the one on the airline itself, be moved? ThatFlyingSquid (talk) 17:01, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

@ThatFlyingSquid: I would prefer UTAG but I would have one name redirect to the other. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got "UTAGE" from, so I wouldn't use that 23:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

– As shown in the 'Name of the Airline' section, there is no evidence that the airline was named 'Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée' and referred to as 'UTAGE'. Most sources use 'Union des Transports Africains (de Guinée)' and 'UTA'. In regards to the accident article, some may be concerned about confusion as there was a French airline with the same name. However, keep in mind there are already cases of different airlines with the same name being referred to as the same in accident articles (e.g. National Airlines Flight 27 and National Airlines Flight 102).

Support per nom; the name seems to be "Union des Transports Africains" and I have no idea where "Aériens" comes from. Similarly, every source on the crash uses "UTA" as the abbreviation for the airline. power~enwiki (π, ν) 06:31, 31 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
