 * delete This does not surprise me, I have had difficultly the whole time finding anything that really establishes notability.Slatersteven (talk) 16:24, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * delete – per previous AfD discussion- no more notability has since been presented and there should be a significantly long wait period between AfD close and recreation. ––<b style="color:#3399FF">Redditaddict69</b> <sup style="color:#339900">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(contribs)  16:31, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment and inclined towards keep : This is a REAL functioning airline in Cambodia (I live in Cambodia and have seen the airline office and the aircraft). However, their media coverage is very substandard. Just to bring to everyone's notice, the airline is owned by the Chinese - perhaps that's the reason?? Lastly, the airline commenced operations and then grounded it's only A320 (check out their website). So currently they are not operating any flights but the AOC is valid, company is very much in existence. Validity of the airline is not a doubt, it is depth of coverage that can be put in discussion.

 * Which was practically why I nominated it for deletion in the first place, it existing or having an aircraft is not relevant. It being a fully functioning airline that has received significant coverage is. Hell I am pretty sure I even pointed out at some point how having one aircraft does not really make you much of an airline (and here is why).Slatersteven (talk) 17:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello Slatersteven, if the airline is not operating then it can be categorized as defunct airline. If fleet size is not a measure, then a lot of articles like this (one aircraft), this (zero aircraft and not operating), this (one aircraft) and this (zero aircraft and not operating) should be nominated as well for AfD. Let us not be particularly over critical on this article. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk)  18:04, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Please read wp:otherstuffexists.Slatersteven (talk) 18:06, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I knew this would come. When people run out of logic and consistency, they hide behind wp:otherstuffexists. Anyway, I am done here and also on AfDs. I only came here because Tyw7 pinged me. Striking my vote, hope that makes you happy. Cheers. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk)  18:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:VNT. All above arguments fall apart if no sources support either the existence or the notability of the airline.--Jetstreamer $Talk$ 21:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. No evidence that is has ever actually operated a flight. This is apparently just hopeful publicity, as before. If they ever do run scheduled flights, a draft ca be started.  DGG ( talk ) 00:26, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. Hello DGG, Macau Business.com, Macau News, Macau daily times, The Phnom Penh Post and AIN Online confirm that the airline indeed operate (incl Macau). Just to bring to your attention. Arun Kumar SINGH  (Talk)  08:08, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It's interesting that, not a single one of them indicates it actually has a regular scheduled service.  DGG ( talk ) 09:57, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

 * The question is not whether it's a functioning airline. It's whether it's got independent coverage. Rathfelder (talk) 12:57, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:NCORP. I wouldn't be quick to salt - they may grow and be notable in the future. At the moment - we have a single-aircraft (A320) airline founded a year or so ago. Icewhiz (talk) 06:53, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
