[edit] Irish Registration?

The article's template says that the plane wsa registered under EI-TAF. I'm not sure if this is correct; planes with registrations beginning with EI- are registered in the Republic of Ireland. Does anyone know the source for this? And if there is none, could somebody find the correct registration for the aircraft? -Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 00:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Many non Irish aircraft carry Irish registrations as a result of being owned by an Irish leasing company, in this case ALIX Leasing Limited. The registartion is indeed correct. --88.110.117.203 (talk) 11:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The registration EI-TAF is listed on several aircraft databases, including this one:

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20080530-0

and is the same registration when it flew with Martinair livery from 2007-05-01 to 2008-03-01. If you look at this link:

http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A320/1374.html

you will see it had five different liverys between 2001 (construction) and 2008, three of them being TACA. --CubBC (talk) 11:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

And to add TACA itself said that the plane was an "Irish Plate" WhisperToMe (talk) 00:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

It is definitely correct, the registration is clearly seen in a crash picture. --Starbucks95905 (talk) 00:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

My mistake; thank you all kindly for the corrections. Perhaps the template should be cited somehow, but this probably isn't important/necessary. -Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 01:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
