[edit] MAS-Be Airlines

MAS-Be Airlines (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This so-called airline fails WP:CORP as it is not an airline, but a travel agency posing as an airline. The evidence so that others unfamiliar can verify for themselves

  • The IATA code CZ, belongs to China Southern Airlines not MAS-Be
  • The website of MAS-Be [1] states that flights are operated by China Southern Airlines or China Eastern Airlines.
  • The FAQ of the website [2] answers the question "Is MAS-Be an airline" with "Not yet, but we are in the process of planning and working towards becoming one, subject, of course, to the prior approval of the relevant authorities. Meanwhile, we work with airlines to bring you the best deal ever offered by the aviation industry." *code words for we are really a travel agent who books a few seats on a real airline and will use the word 'airlines' to try and fool the public.*

Any company (or individual) can charter an aircraft and sell seats and call themselves an airline, but to be an actually airline is a different thing entirely. Russavia 18:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. If you don't have an IATA code, and you don't own planes, and you don't pay pilots, then you aren't an airline. You might be selling seats on a charter airline, but that doesn't make you an airline. I don't see any evidence that MAS-Be is operating flights, or even wet leasing aircraft. Maybe they should change their name to Wanna-Be Airlines. (Or maybe not.) --Elkman (Elkspeak) 18:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. No assertion of notability as a charter airline or travel agency. Bearian 21:53, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
