Discussion

 * Southern districts of tamilnadu are Theni, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Tirunelveli, Thothukudi and Kanyakumari. Out of this, Theni, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram, Larger parts of Sivaganga and few parts of Tirunelveli (mostly for domestic), and Tuticorin dt (for destinations other than MAA in domestic) are covered by IXM. This is the reason why it is mentioned as southern districts. More over this user who is repeatedly asking for citation has done several degrades to this page. Here are few examples. 1, 2. And kindly see his repeated posts (1, 2)in user:Abhishek191288's talk page.--Amdmustafa (talk) 13:27, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * is known for his diruptive POV editing across airport articles. But we are not here to discuss that. The dispute now here is whether IXM serves the Southern discrits of Tamil Nadu or are they served by TRV. I suggest the individual parties to back up their claim. Else we can do away with this info. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk 04:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

TRV is just far nearer than IXM for the southern tamilnadu districts of Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Kanyakumari and TRV almost connected with each and every city of gulf.so instead of serving 'southern districts' it can be changed to the 'surrounding districts'.that sounds good.Naanmahan (talk)
 * My statement above was clear. Each of you back up your claims with sources and then we will gain consensus, else we can do away with this part and just retain IXM as serving Madurai. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk 09:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I hope retaining the data as per your quotes will keep away this issue by retaining 'IXM serving Madurai' as of now till the source arrivalNaanmahan (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:38, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what is degrading over here. Are you trying to project a 'good image' of Madurai Airport? If so, then you need to stop. We need to be neutral over here. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Is Madurai really International?
Do we have passenger flights from International destinations? If yes, please add details. when did we become regular international? Wasif (talk) 12:27, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Madurai is an international airport. Refer http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/madurai-airport-becomes-an-international-terminal/article3823330.ece Also here http://www.spicejet.com/Schedules.aspx under international tab. Not sure why a group of editors are very aggressive in disputing a well known fact. Backup your claims please. Sun in india (talk) 07:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

There is no international criteria for an airport to be called "international". Airports often change their name to "international" because they want to. They may justify it because a customs official is available or can be called to come. There are quite a few airports called "international" even though they only have domestic flights.

On the other hand, there are airports with a lot of international flights that do not feel a need to use the word "international". Examples include Changi Airport in Singapore, Heathrow Airport in the UK, Paris Airport Charles de Gaulle. Vanguard10 (talk) 04:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Indigo Destinations
I have attached here the screenshot from Indigo website with regards to flights service by them to Madurai

Indigo operates 6E 137 as Goa-Chennai-Madurai.



Indigo also operates 6E 381 as Hyderabad-Chennai-Madurai.

 * @ I would like to add my comment on the above discussion that I didn't find any hard rule in Wikipedia which says only outbound destinations should be mentioned. Hyderabad and Goa are inbound connections by Indigo as mentioned in their schedule page. I have included the screenshot of the schedule page above. I would like you to present your view on why inbound connections should not be included. Amdmustafa (talk) 13:22, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

• Hyderabad to Madurai flight only there There is no flight from Madurai to Hyderabad now you understand — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anandprakash1999 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * @ I got what you are trying to say. IMO, there is no such hard rule in Wikipedia which says only outbound destinations should be mentioned. "Airlines and destinations" means the particular airport is connected to so-and-so destinations by so-and-so airline, be it inbound or outbound. You are saying only outbound flights should be added. Let me know if there is any such rule mentioned/discussed in WP:AIRPORT. I have also taken up the issue in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Airports. Amdmustafa (talk) 18:13, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also I would request both the current editors to not modify the article until it is discussed here extensively Amdmustafa (talk) 18:13, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * @Amdmustafa: You need rules to tell you that the word Destinations means To and not From? Rules are required when there is clarification required or a procedure to be followed, not when it is obvious. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:30, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This discussion is almost 1 year old and those inbound-only destinations have been removed long back too. Amdmustafa (talk) 04:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC) Trying to prove yourself without checking the current status shows the immaturity. Amdmustafa (talk) 04:47, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Immaturity is on your part where you fail to understand the meaning of the word Destinations. Perhaps you need to refresh your primary school English. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:54, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Operational Flights
Indigo


 * 6E 141 is ALREADY operated as Madurai - Chennai - Bhubaneswar with same flight number and aircraft
 * 6E 6385 is ALREADY operated as Madurai - Chennai - Kolkata with same flight number and aircraft
 * 6E 7153 will be operated as Madurai - Hyderabad - Rajamundry with same flight number and aircraft --Amdmustafa (talk) 05:23, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Notifying user:Anandprakash1999 to discuss in talk page who is removing few destinations from Madurai Airport without giving reason and unwilling to discuss in talk page.
 * Same flight number and aircraft does not automatically imply a direct flight. It might still require a change. As such IndiGo has only two types, ATR and A320 and the former was a recent induction into the fleet. Schedule search on IndiGo's page for Madurai (as from), the To box gives only BLR and MAA which indicates the others are not direct flights. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It is irony to see an admin like you have no knowledge about aviation even after editing aviation articles for many years. There are airlines which doesn't update their schedule page so frequently as they are not GDS complained. The same airline posted on twitter that they are starting Madurai - Hyderabad flight, but it doesn't show up on the schedule. Does that mean, that destination should not be included in Wikipedia?



Their booking engine says "through" flight with same flight number. It is a common practice for airlines to mention it as "through" flight when the aircraft is not changed in the intermediate point.

One more irony for an experienced person like you is to revert the edit even without seeing the differences. You have reverted other changes to which are valid i.e, SG IXM-BLR. Amdmustafa (talk) 04:40, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * New flights do not show up on schedule unless they begin. If there's someone who needs to learn something, it's you. Learn to be WP:CIVIL. You have been reverted by other editors as well. You just fail to understand how aviation works, not anyone else. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:53, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Answer already given does not give you the right to revert. There is still no consensus on what you claim, yet you are hell bound on adding what you think is right. Good luck on your edit war. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:56, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It is pretty clear that Amdmustafa does not understand WP:BURDEN. I wonder since when images turn out to be sources. &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:58, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Do check www.goindigo.com if you really care about wikipedia information. Since you just want to ignore the fact and continue to imply what you think is correct, nothing can be done. Here is the link that Madurai-Chennai-Bhubaneswar, Madurai-Chennai-Delhi and Madurai-Chennai-Kolkata are operated with same flight number and same aircraft.

 * The destinations have been challenged. Per WP:V, a reliable source must be added. Also understand it is the responsibility of the user wishing to keep the information to add a reliable source. Reliable sources are NOT flightracking websites or booking engines. If you have an issue with this, raise it at the reliable sources noticeboard. Don't continue this edit war when multiple users have reverted. Garretka (talk) 22:02, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I am going to say it again Amdmustafa. Your entries have been challenged, booking engines are NOT a WP:RS. Per WP:BURDEN, you MUST be able to provide a reliable source to support your entries. Take it to the reliable sources noticeboard if you really want feedback on what a reliable source is. User:LeoFrank is well within their rights to revert your unsourced edits, and they are not required to supply a reference. Unsourced or poorly sourced (not supported by a RS) can and likely will be reverted. To add, perhaps the best course of action since one particular user seems keen on an edit war, is to add tags on the disputed destinations. If no RS can be brought forward, they can be removed.
