List of airlines of Tonga

A list with exactly one entry is both not a list and useless. This should be redirected to Lulutai Airlines or deleted. It serves no encyclopedic purpose as-is. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: Here's an article from the the New Zealand Herald that confirms that Tonga does, in fact, only have a single operational airline, making the need for this list void at this point. That said, there was Royal Tongan Airlines, Fly Niu Airlines, Peau Vavaʻu, Real Tonga, and supposedly one called Reef Air. So if we include all Tongan airlines in this list, operational and defunct, I think we should keep the article. Input is welcome. Cortador (talk) 20:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
 * We could include those, but it would still have to pass NLIST, it think (unless there's some SNG clause...?) Cremastra (talk) 20:46, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge List of defunct airlines of Tonga into this list. All of the similar lists could be consolidated to avoid duplication, considering a while ago I prodded seven lists of this type that had zero entries, including List of airlines of Liberia. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 03:25, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Support this merge - Tonga generally has only one active airline at a time, due to royal monopolies, so there's not much need for a list of active airlines. But the past list isn't long enough to be unwieldy, so combining the two makes sense. IdiotSavant (talk) 23:12, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
