 * Weak delete, on the basis there seems to be very little to say, it is a small airport that doesn't have commercial (public) flights. Clearly any airport that has fare paying passengers is going to be notable. Unless someone can demonstrate that Pataila Airport is important for some reason, I'd say this article won't be missed.

 * Keep. While the article does require improvement, AfD is not for cleanup, and editors are reminded that with the exception of BLPs, sources do not have to be in an article for it to be kept, they merely have to exist. Furthermore, it is general, long-standing consensus that public-use airports are inherently notable, as part of Wikipedia's function as a gazetteer, and given the location of this airport WP:CSB must be borne in mind as well. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:22, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Is it public use? I got the impression it wasn't, for example this wiki-ish listing says it was a private airport but is now a civil airport used by a flying school and a college. Sionk (talk) 00:19, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
 * A "civil airport" is another term for a public-use airport, so it does sound like it. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:42, 10 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep as this airport has been used by a flying club (at least recently) and also has a regional DGCA office. . It also has an aircaft engineering college .:--DreamLinker (talk) 13:23, 11 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per Bushranger's and DreamLinker's comments. -- do ncr  am  03:11, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
