A fact from OpenSkies appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 27 November 2007.

This is a new article about a planned airline by British Airways. It is created as a separate article because of the details and rationale behind the planned airline would disrupt the British Airways articles in terms of length and detail. I would expect that the article will be renamed and merged at the time the airline name is chosen.

Other airline subsidiaries have been allowed articles, such as the planned Tiger Airways Australia and Delta Connection.

Feel free to help write the article. Archtransit (talk) 18:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem with an article for a planned airline - concerned it needs 24 citations before it has even started ! MilborneOne (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] referencing style

I have replaced the individual <ref> tags with <ref name="..."> tags for repeated references to the same source. It makes it easier to cite. I haven't changed the format to use one of the citation templates as yet, but that style should probably be emulated at the least at some point. -- Flyguy649 ^talk 05:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Callsign / ICAO Code

Openskies (BA European Limited) does seem to have been issued ICAO code BOS with callsign MISTRAL according to the Eurocontrol Database, so I have added this info to the article with the appropriate reference. It does at first appear odd that BOS was used as this is the three letter airport code for Boston, however several airlines share an ICAO code with a major airport (LHR, LGW, MAN, MIA, ORD, etc...) are all used by airlines somewhere in the world.

Thanks for the source. When I tried to find one myself I just kept getting Boston. Rather interesting callsign though. Funny enough the first google result for "MISTRAL" happens to be a restaurant in Boston! NcSchu_(Talk) 18:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
