Sky Cabs

Article has not been updated in a year. Found only one source about the company contradicting what was placed on the article. Article has no sources on that information. For the information on the one source I did find, I could not verify. The source is http://www.boatshowsrilanka.com/34/book-travel-on-sky-cabs.html & there is no date on that article Unknowntbeast (talk) 02:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. I found, according to which the airline existed from 1993 to 2000 and operated a few Antonov An-8 and Antonov An-12. Per another source , an An-12 of the company crashed on 24 March 2000, killing 6. This accident had quite an impact on civil aviation in Sri Lanka: All cargo operators were grounded and re-certified, and the An-12 was banned from operating within the country. Further information about the airline can be found at flightglobal.com, for example Therefore, I come to the conclusion that Sky Cabs is notable, and that it has been the subject of sufficient, reliable media coverage to pass WP:CORP. I have placed the article on my to-do list, and will rewrite it as soon as possible.--FoxyOrange (talk) 06:46, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. A non-trivial operator whose crash indeed changed air operations in Sri Lanka and quite possibly beyond.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 12:24, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly notable based on the references provided by FoxyOrange. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  23:40, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable it was an operator albiet leased of Antonov freighters on international services as well as one serious accident passes the bar. Could do with improvement from stub rather than deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 11:51, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - The found sources indicate it was a real and influential airline operator and had non-trivial coverage to boot. --Oakshade (talk) 20:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
