Talk:Drukair

Naming
The name of this airline is a little unclear. The web page talks mostly about "DRUK AIR" and references a Druk Air Corporation Ltd, so I've opted for Druk Air as the name. The "Royal Bhutan Airlines" bit seems parenthetical, and the spelling "Drukair" as found on the A319's seems to be just stylistic. Jpatokal 03:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I agree, and I see that Kuensel takes the same approach. technopilgrim

Removing "this is a stub" tag
I feel safe in removing the stub tag in that the article already enumerates every plane the airline has every owned, plus every flight in its schedule. I'm not optimistic that the article can be expanded significantly without giving the names of specific flight crew members. Some articles just aren't destined to be 30KB hogs. Good work & I'd say this article is plenty full-size given the topic. technopilgrim 21:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Fleet
I was in Paro over (US) Thanksgiving this year (2005). The BAe 146's were still parked in Paro. Based on the Druk Air inflight magazine it seemed that they were still in use. Perhaps summers only? I flew in and out on A319s

I was in Paro early April 2008. One A319 was in the hanger overnight (the other apparently overnights in Bangkok). The only aircraft mentioned in the inflight magazine is an A319-114. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.70.1 (talk) 21:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Fleet Update
I work for Flybe in Exeter, UK, and we hold the maintenance contracts for the Druk Air BAe146's. One has had a heavy maintenance (C Check) this week, and is still operational.

The aircraft also had its Royal Bhutan Airlines livery replaced with a new Druk Air livery

Fair use rationale for Image:Druk Air Royal Bhutan Airlines -resized200.jpg
Image:Druk Air Royal Bhutan Airlines -resized200.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Table of destinations
The table of destinations is preferable over the "list" as it makes use of the space in the article - i.e. there is no huge amount of whitespace, and the list is frankly ugly, whereas the table is well formatted. There is no relevant WP:GUIDELINES at WP:AIRLINES which dictates that destination lists need to be ugly, cumbersome lists. It is my intention to take this to WP:FA status before too long, and having a look at previous FA nominations, well-formatted tabulated lists are looked on more favourable than lists such as what Zap is forcing upon this article. Article content is decided upon by article editors, by reaching consensus on an article by article basis. Also Zaps, you are the editor who disagreed, as if you look at the article history, you will see that I was the editor who expanded the article and created the table. Please discuss before blindly reverting, and discuss here first. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 19:54, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, yours is simply a point of view. I disagree with using the table, because its been a long-established convention and norm to use a list (as for the thousands of other airline articles) rather than a table. Pretty or not, we must be consistent, and a selective change to a "pet"article is not the way to go. Should anyone feel the need to establish a new norm or convention, then by all means do. But go about it in the correct way: by bringing your proposal to the project talk page, let editors contribute with their thoughts, and then, if there is consensus, people will start making the agreed-upon change sto all articles.
 * In any event, the Drukair talk page is NOT the place to discuss this.
 * Thanks, Jasepl (talk) 12:05, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Jasepl! The table is confusing and untidy most of the time! The current format is much better. Zaps93 (talk) 14:29, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
