Check out this company's past...quite interesting how they tie in with the bombing of PanAm Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scottland.
Destinations as of December 2006 It's now Feburary 2006, so when that data was gatherd?
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The logo says Libyan Airlines, the air-stewerdesses say Libyan Airlines, Airbus's website called it Libyan Airlines when they ordered the A350s, Tripoli Airport calls it Libyan Airlines... I think the title needs to be changed. Jaw101ie 14:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have directed the request to move Libyan Airways destinations to Libyan Airlines destinations here. Please discuss both requests together. --Stemonitis 15:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Unsure. The argument given in WP:RM is that the correct new name is Libyan Airlines, which seems to completely misunderstand WP:NC. I tried a couple of google searches; "Libyan Airways" Airbus got more hits than "Libyan Airlines" Airbus, three times as many in fact. The second (which I did first in fact) didn't produce the page where Airbus's website called it Libyan Airlines when they ordered the A350s. At the very least, the proposer should give some links as evidence that the new name is now the common name. It may well be, but my guess is that this nomination is premature, and based on the common mistake that every time officialdom decrees that something is officially renamed, the relevant article should automatically be renamed too. English doesn't work that way, and neither does English Wikipedia. Andrewa 10:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sure Here are some relatively reliable links. I don't think counting Google hits is very conclusive. Also, I do agree that the name change is not 100% certain but, I was the one who requested a change to Libyan Airways, and the new name is far more likely to be Libyan Airlines as the following links will show. To put it simply, Libyan Airways is completely wrong, it is either Libyan Airlines, or Libyan Arab Airlines.

Also as I've already written, (forgive my candour, yes these are not official) I've been to Tripoli airport several times and I've travelled on the airline four times in the last year. Their logos in the airport and the name used by their cabin staff is Libyan Airlines. Please continue with the page name change. Jaw101ie 12:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed from Libyan Airways to Libyan Airlines as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 08:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
