NEEDED: Intercontinetal de Aviación's Destinations!!! Can't be found anywhere, if anyone knows their destinations or knows where they could be found online please help!!!! Also, needed: anyone who knows the status of Alitalia's flight to BOG. PRueda29

While originally El Dorado was built in the municipality of Engativá, Engativá is not longer a municipality but a locallity. Furthermore, currently El Dorado is part of the locallity of Fontibón, not Engativá. --Chlewey 23:09, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Announced Services?

I removed the aforementioned section because just because the government agency has given permission for these airlines to fly, that doesn't mean that the airlines will actually fly it. Do not list these airlines as having an intent of flying to the airport, as long as there is no official announcement from the airlines themselves. Having the rights to fly the route and actually flying them are two different things. Elektrik Blue 82 17:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The only one I that gave an official announcement after it was given authority was AerOasis, that's why I added it. It's on their website under "rutas". The others I did not add so the user who did would have to vouch for them. -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 20:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Can you give me a link to their website? I seem to have trouble finding it. And if they indeed announce that they are flying the route, then you might as well add them to the airline list. Elektrik Blue 82 00:01, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

http://www.aeroasis.com.co/ , i found them through google Colombia. Destinations are under "destinos", not rutas, and they recently changed their site (actual routes weren't on there before, just a list of possible destinations), I guess they moved the press release to a new section, probably under about us. You can read Spanish, right? -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 00:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I do have a working knowledge of Spanish (I am hesitant to say I read Spanish, but I can more or less get the gist. If there are stuff that I do not understand, I have friends who are happy to translate, something I did for the dossier of AeroCivil.), but anyway, is AerOasis flying already or are they still a start-up airline? Without a date, I am hesitant to list them in the destinations list, unless there is a definite maiden flight. Elektrik Blue 82 01:00, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think we should list them unless they have announced their start date. At the moment it was just "November", upon receiving authorization to fly they are going to begin service in "November" which could be moved up or down based on how fast they work at hiring staff and getting gates, training, etc for the non-management portion. I'll keep an eye on their website for concrete service announcement dates. -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 13:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I am a colombian happy of providing info for this site. I think that if flights that have not even been approved to Delta or US for example are shown, flights that have been approved like the ones for Avianca SHOULD be listed. I have added them myself several times but people erase them, which i think is disrispectufl. If the Avianca and other airlines flights are not added, i would propose to erase from the list the US airlines that want to fly to BOG. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.157.197.58 (talk • contribs)

• It is ok to add new flights, but if you do not have the sources to prove it, then it cannot be added. I have seen links for a Colombian newspaper being cited as sources, but the links do not point to the actual article that mentions the proposed flights; it simply points to the homepage. You must cite your sources. Read WP:V for more information. Elektrik Blue (talk) 18:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

• • Tell me how to do it and i'll be glad to add everything that is new to El Dorado and the airlines that serve it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.157.197.58 (talk • contribs)

• • • You can read about the directions and procedures in WP:V and WP:RS. Elektrik Blue (talk) 21:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
