Merge Proposal
I propose that Hong Kong Airlines be merged into Hong Kong Express Airways. On the airline website, it states Hong Kong Airlines is mainly for domestic routes while the Express section is for International routes.
 * I disagree on a merge as they are still operating as two separate airlines, with two separate identities and routes structure. Please be reminded to sign your post with ~ . Aviator006 (talk) 04:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The link to the officical website links to hong kong airlines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.96.243.143 (talk) 22:44, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Hong Kong Express Airways → Hong Kong Express – Hong Kong Express already redirects here. WP:AVINAME, WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE. Per Google Trends, Hong Kong Express has far higher interest.

 * Comment there's a big problem here. This article was cut-and-pasted from the requested destination in 2007, so the edit history of the article from 2005 to 2007 is there, not here. -- 70.51.203.69 (talk) 11:04, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Opening sentence is confusing
The opening sentence phrase "...is a Mainland China-owned, Hong Kong-based low-cost airline which has nothing to do with Hong Kong..." is a bit misleading. What does "nothing to do with Hong Kong" actually mean? Seeing that the opening line says it is Hong Kong based, and later on the airline is Hong Kong registered by the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department, "nothing to do with Hong Kong" is a misleading phrase. It should either be clarified or removed. Master Of Ninja (talk) 10:23, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

HK Express → Hong Kong Express – The last discussion was moved to "Hong Kong Express". It did not have a consensus to move to even shorter version "HK Express". Matthew hk (talk) 15:05, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment: The move to HK Express was done in 2015 by User:Mdann52 saying 'company rebranded', linking to an OTRS request. Moving the article back should require a discussion. EdJohnston (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose HK Express is clearly the common name, used on the company website who only use the long form in the website legal declaration. MilborneOne (talk) 19:26, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment I would usually tend to support the legal name or long name in favour of marketing variations. Looking at external media coverage, there does not seem to be consensus. Hong Kong Express:, , , , . HK Express: , , , . Some use the long name for the headline, but the short name in the body. I would argue that locally, people largely speak the airline name as "Hong Kong Express", so I would tend to support the move. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jake Brockman (talk • contribs) 2019-04-24T20:11:26 (UTC)


 * Support (duplicate vote) (as nominator of the technical request).  is the official trading name, but  is still part of the legal name. While on common name, South China Morning Post, the dominate English-language newspaper of Hong Kong, use "Hong Kong Express" (2017 article, 2018 article). Per WP:criteria, despite  not the very concise title, please prove  is the MOST common name . Existing source indicated  is the common name. Matthew hk (talk) 22:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Also, Financial Times use (see March 2019 article).  is a redirect to Hong Kong. Matthew hk (talk) 22:11, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * And the CNBC link that provided by Jake Brockman, use "Hong Kong Express" in the article title and main text, HK Express in the url and in the main text. Matthew hk (talk) 22:16, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Though even SCMP is not consistent. Those two examples you gave may use "Hong Kong Express", however there are probably as many that use "HK Express", such as, . pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 06:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * As i said, HK is a redirect to Hong Kong. Unlike RTHK which call itself more often R-T-H-K, "HK" in everywhere else are actually more often pronounce as "Hong Kong". It just something like X-mas are pronounced as Christmas.
 * For other source, The Straits Times (composing Bloomberg and Reuters) used full name in the first mention in the video, but  in the article title as well as subsequent mention in the video. It just seem assume other wiki reader to know H-K means Hong Kong or not. Matthew hk (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * It seem The Straits Times used Bloomberg's article but Reuters' video. See Reuters link. So, it add one more weight on so called "inconsistent". In the video it never call H-K. but Hong Kong. inconsistent in written form (Hong Kong or H.K.) does not mean there is any "inconsistent" in verbal form, which always spoke as "Hong Kong". Matthew hk (talk) 13:25, 25 April 2019 (UTC)


 * The video of Bloomberg. It use "Hong Kong" in verbal form. Matthew hk (talk) 13:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think colloquially people would usually say "HKU" for University of Hong Kong or "HKMA" for Hong Kong Monetary Authority - except for formal occasions or where the audience may not be familiar with the acronym (or for disambiguation...). Obviously, those articles use the long form of the name, which supports the move request! pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:19, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It is more complex for HKU, actually it is the University of Hong Kong, but verbally sometimes it is "Hong Kong U", while the Monetary Authority, HKMA is sometimes ambiguous. Sometimes the acronym may refer to Hong Kong Management Association . While HK, HKU, HKMA, HK$, HKD, CUHK, RTHK are acronyms, HK Express is not an acronym. Matthew hk on public computer (talk) 07:23, 29 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose, HK Express is the WP:COMMONNAME. feminist (talk) 03:11, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
