[edit] Name confusing

I removed the "Central" from the name since this part of it is unreferenced at all. The airport is mentioned just as "Odessa Intl" everywhere. Besides, is there other airports in the city to call this one central? Must be some mistake. As far as I remember, Simferopol's airport is called "Tsentralnyi". Ukrained 19:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

There are at least one more airfield in Odessa called Shkol'niy (Russian: Школьный, Zavtra newspaper, URA-Inform news agency). It's mostly military one.
Name "Tsentralnyi" is well known to public. It's even used as official postal address (Ref: Airosvit Company Offices, Airport at Official Odessa City Council website, List of airline companies at Boryspil airport). --TAG 04:25, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, no doubts that you had your reasons to use "Central" word. Let's now implement it in unambiguous way. For instance, we can add it as " ... or Odessa (Tsentralnyi)" after the main name. Also, it would be great if you specified the neighbourhood of Odessa where it is located.
By the way, is that Shkolnyi a major air force base? If so, could you start developing it? You see, Category:Ukrainian Air Force is still in a sorrow state. But I lack expertise to work on it. As well as I'm short of time, busy with Category:Economy of Ukraine (also in ruins, but very important). Wishes, Ukrained 06:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I've no personal opinion on how to add Tsentralnyi to article. Do that you think is the best.
Here is some Shkolnyi photos Aviaforum.ru. But I'm unable to find any good resources about it. --TAG 11:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alpi Eagles

The company has not been operating for several months, and no longer has an air-operator-certificate. Until flights are resumed, why do we need to keep a reference to this airline on this page ?
