[edit] Terminal length

How long is the terminal?--Arado 15:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pudong's busy status

Is this about to become China's busiest airport or what? Colipon+(T) 05:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Busiest is still by far the Beijing Capital International Airport. The terminal 3 which is under construction in Beijing will be as big as all 4 terminals at Heathrow combined.

[edit] Relevance

Exactly what is the significance of the bit about Continental and direct New York services? Does seem out of place, I' suggest that is removed Ianguy 01:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continental Section

Since there's a section about Continental's wishes for a flight to Shanghai from New York (or Newark), I think that there should be some info on China Eastern Airline's direct flight from New York.

[edit] Lead

Please consider moving all the alternate information in the lead (different languages and scripts etc) and put them in the infobox instead.--Filll 17:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Nepal does or does not fly to KIX?

To se the stage: RNA takes a B757, flies it from KTM, lands in PVG, and continues on to KIX. Then it turns around, flies back to PVG, then on to KTM.

First, the "Osaka-Kansai" entry was removed from this article.[1] Doubting the accuracy of this edit, i searched for evidence and found that RNA flies to KIX, from PVG, once a week, for sure.[2] I personally know an employee at KIX that serves that airline. Therefore, i reverted that edit.[3]

Now, Elektrik Blue 82 has reverted that edit,[4] remarking "rv: true, RA flies KIX-PVG-KTM, but it has no rights to transport pax between Japan and China, so it is unbookable".

So, who's right? I say that i am, because in plain terms, RNA flies to KIX from PVG. Elektrik says that the subtleties of transportation regulations limiting the ability of a Japanese person to fly to China via this flight means that even though a flight happens, we shouldn't list it. I disagree.

On the KIX page, it says RNA flies to PVG. Should that be removed as well, or perhaps it should say "Kathmandu (via Shanghai)".

I don't know the answer, but i think we should list the flight, and let the airline explain to the passenger the appropriate regulations and restrictions on passengers.

Hi. It is true that Royal Nepal Airlines flies a route KTM-PVG-KIX. It is also true that the airlines show this flight as "via Shanghai" and thus PVG appears as a destination. However, what the airlines are not telling you is that people cannot fly Royal Nepal Airlines from Osaka and disembark at Shanghai. RA simply has no rights to transport people between Japan and China. This is the reason why it does not show up in oag.com and amadeus.net. You simply cannot book a flight on RA if you want to go from KIX to PVG and vice versa.

FYI, it is not my decision what to list and what not to list in the destination lists. I am merely following what is stated at WP:AIRPORTS. If you look at the formatting for the airport article structure, go to Airlines and destinations and read bullet 5. As of now, this is the current consensus. Thus, with this in mind, RA flights should be listed as simply (Kathmandu) for both KIX and PVG articles. /ɪlεktʃɹɪk bluː/ 16:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed response, Elektrik. Upon reflection, and taking into consideration the addtional information that you provided, i agree with the consensus of not listing KIX on this page. If passengers can't get off, how can the airline be 'serving' the destination? Anyway, thanks for your feedback, looks like you made the right edit. —Fudoreaper 05:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LogoShanghaiAirport.jpg

Image:LogoShanghaiAirport.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA?

Uhh, I don't think this was reviewed as passed as a Good Article. If this article has gone through the official process, please link to the relevant discussion. --Ideogram 19:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] some services will not begin

Resolved.

routes awarded and someone updated the article.

There is a list of destinations, including Maxjet (Seattle), Northwest (Detroit), United (Los Angeles), and others that are marked as pending government approval. Some of these applications will be denied because not all of them can be granted under the limitations of the air service agreement between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China. The number of flights are limited. Not all airlines asking for route authority can be accommodated under the agreement.

Editors should decide whether to leave the article as it is, make a note that the flights are subject to approval and that their are limitations preventing all of the applications from being approved, to delete the pending applications, or to create a separate paragraph explaining the limitations.

[edit] Defining "International"

In the destination listing, should "international" change to "non-domestic"? China defines Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan as not international but "out of realm" (jingwai). I've seen the signs at Guangzhou Baiyun which points passengers to "International and HK/Macau/Taiwan" flights. HkCaGu (talk) 19:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
