Talk:Egyptair

Proposed move
Move complete.

Rationale
EgyptAir is now using the CamelCase naming as opposed to the earlier Egyptair. The change can be seen on their website. EdwinHJ | Talk

Horribly Inaccurate Facts
The Maltese Egypt air incident is horribly inaccurate, the hi-jackers did not storm the plane but shot anyone who tried to escape the plane and used a powerful explosive on the plane thus killing the passengers instead of aprehanding the terrorists, they killed more passangers that the terrorists. Please correct the inaccurate fact, I live in the country myself don’t tell me you have a good source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.85.104.106 (talk) 21:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Why no mention of EgyptAir's famous incident?
I am referring to the air crash a few years ago. &mdash;Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 21:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

hey which crash? the one of tunisia?

Airline Fleetsize
EgyptAir is not second largest anymore. Both Egyptair and South African Airways have the fleetsize as of current (49 planes both). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.100.218.127 (talk) 04:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I have just been threathen with a block from user User talk:Dethme0w in regards to EgyptAir and feel I can no longer debate this issue. He has consider the fact that I added "Citation required" as disruptive. I have posted my concerns at the WP:ANI board and the WP:Reliable sources Noticeboard and this is my final post regarding this item. We have not found any reliable sources, we could not work together, and we disagreed upon the fundamental wikipedia rules elaborated within WP:OR and WP:V which states "Encyclopedic content must be verifiable." We are still left wondering where this information comes from and I believe the article is not properly sourced. Unfortunatelly, I feel as though I can no longer safely debate this issue from feer of being blocked. Finally, I would like to express my final concerns and warning to future readers in regards to the information within this article.

Added Montreal to list of destinations as it has been resumed in 2009 after being suspended for budget problems. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article396669.ece —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.196.167.91 (talk) 08:45, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It has not resumed in 2009. The first three words of the cited article are: "Starting June 10"! Jasepl (talk) 10:11, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Accidents
An editor recently removed two accidents from the "Incidents and accidents" section of the article. One is a Misrair accident and the other is an Egypt Air accident. Both are mentioned in the List of accidents and incidents involving the Vickers Viscount. I've readded them to the article. The Misrair accident should be included until such time as Misrair is converted from a redirect into a stand-alone article. Mjroots (talk) 12:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 11 February 2015
key_people = Egyptair Ecommerce Department. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egyptair Ecommerce (talk • contribs)
 * Captain Sameh El Hefny (Chairman & CEO of EgyptAir Holding Company)
 * Captain Hisham El Nahas (Chairman of EgyptAir Airlines)
 * I don't see you providing a source supporting the changes. That's precisely the reason the article has been semi-protected.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 10:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Unsupported changes
This edit is at least partly unsupported by the references provided. More specifically, only supports the CEO position for El Hefny. I had previously requested protection of the page because of additions of unsupported changes. The source for El Nahas seems to be fine. According to WP:BURDEN, I will require that you add the proper source to the changes you made for the positions held by El Hefny.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 17:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Contradictory and confusing text
The text says that the airline renamed itself "United Arab Airlines" in both February 1957 and March 1958. Which is true? Also, it mentions the airline losing a Viscount at Almaza airport during an air raid, but does not make clear when the air raid occurred. Was it during the 1956 Suez Crisis – and, if so, why isn't it mentioned in that context? – or at another time? Mdnavman (talk) 18:22, 28 November 2015 (UTC)mdnavman

Planespotters is not a reliable source
An editor that uses several IPs keeps using planespotters  as a source, which is not considered reliable. Even if it was, the IP is not including the reference in the article but just in their edit summary. If you are the one that is making such changes please stop with this.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 10:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Egyptair vs. EgyptAir (article uses them inconsistently)
Egyptair's web site uses all caps, which, of course, is a house style choice that we will not follow. But its logo clearly eschews camel case. While the company itself is not always the best source for determining how a name is written, it should be given consideration. The article has a mixture of Egyptair and EgyptAir. It is properly, in my opinion, titled Egyptair. The rest of the article needs to be cleaned up for consistency. I don't have the time to do it now, and I would like this to be open for discussion for a while first. Thanks! Holy (talk) 02:06, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Before the latest logo the airline used "EgyptAir" as a logo hence the confusion. MilborneOne (talk) 07:46, 23 July 2021 (UTC)


 * It looks like there's a space in that logo (Egypt Air), which adds even more confusion! Holy (talk) 05:26, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
