[edit] International Airport or Airport of International Standards

I keep hearing it being referred to not as an International Airport, but as an Airport of International Standards. Even the billboard pointing to its location in McKinley Street, Silay City refers to it as the "Bacolod-Silay Airport". Just food for thought. -- • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ ^Talk 02:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

We'll never know. There is considerable debate over whether or not this is a domestic or international airport. Following "government plans" for the airport, I used the International Airport naming procedure. --Sky Harbor 07:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The signage (made of metal letters on concrete so its definitely permanent) in front of the airport itself proclaims its name to be "New Bacolod-Silay Airport". I'll post an image soon. -- • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ ^Talk 11:25, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Just because the signage says something doesn't mean that it is the name most commonly used. Mandurriao Airport in Iloilo City had "Iloilo Airport" as its sign but it was still called the former. The same goes for Iloilo International Airport and "New Iloilo Airport" (on the sign). --Sky Harbor 13:42, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Jeez. What I meant was I was gonna contribute an image. I wasn't contesting the mainspace label for this article. Lighten up will ya? =) -- • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ ^Talk 15:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't even presuming you were contesting the name of the article. I was being frank on the picture.  :D --Sky Harbor 09:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, ok. No harm, no foul. =) -- • Kurt Guirnela • ‡ ^Talk 10:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
