Banner carrier (Commercial Aviation)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The term "banner carrier" seems to be an invention of the article's author. Google search results show the only relevant matches seem to be Wikipedia and Wiktionary. None of the cited articles use the term either, the closest seems to be things like ...regional jets that will fly the US Airways Express banner under the airline's new and wholly owned MidAtlantic Airways commuter subsidiary in.

 * Support. These are already covered by Virtual airline (economics), Regional airlines and brands. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:18, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - but I don't think it was the invention of the article's author. "Banner carrier" is industry jargon, is it not? It seems to be in fairly wide casual use in industry blogs and forums. That's not enough for a Wikipedia article, of course, but I don't think it was bad-faith. Stalwart 111  05:45, 10 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and Vegaswikian. It may be "industry jargon", but not in this part of the world. I have been in this game since the 1980s and have never heard the term until I saw it here - and I regularly read industry Journals such as Low-Fare & Regional Airlines. Perhaps it's an American industry term, but there are very few mentions that I can find. It seems to me to be the same thing as the far-more-common terms "franchise airline" and "airline franchise", and the article in question even alludes to this. I don't support renaming this to a something containing "franchise", because there's nothing worth rescuing here - it's some very tenuous "refs" (Airliners.net photos with uploader-written captions that don't even contain the word "Banner", and chat forums? Please.) cobbled together; in an exercise in synthesis and original research. YSSYguy (talk) 10:00, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and others, clearly doesnt add anything to the encyclopedia not covered by the other articles. MilborneOne (talk) 19:05, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
