No significant coverage in reliable sources. In fact, I'm barely able to find any references conforming that this org exists,  — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 23:55, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment – From old press releases, it looks like this association was active from 1979 to somewhere around 2014; the official website was still active in January 2014, but appears to have gone dead later that year. I'm guessing that any RS coverage is likely to be offline. –FlyingAce✈hello 04:58, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep I was working in the airline industry when I created this article. I thought it was useful to have a central place where information about CASMA could be collected. To FlyingAce's point, a Wikipedia article becomes even more valuable for industry history when sources become harder to find. But I don't feel strongly about it. --Macrakis (talk) 13:46, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I've also added some more info with footnotes. Many of the sources are admittedly press releases and thus primary sources. --Macrakis (talk) 14:16, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete I can find a good number of press releases (and re-publishing of press releases) but the only non-press release article I find is the last one in the article's ref list. Note that most of the references, like the Yahoo News one, turn out to be press releases. Lamona (talk) 02:48, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete Press releases don't make the organization notable. Without any reliable secondary sources, it fails WP:GNG. Fred Zepelin (talk) 20:30, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
