All of the references I can find for Velana International Airport state that the airport has only one runway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.220.140 (talk) 08:20, 6 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

How can I convince Wikipedia that I have permission to use the material I posted, supposing that I get it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fizan (talk • contribs) 04:56, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"If you hold the copyright to this material, or if you have permission to use this material under the terms of our license, please indicate so on this page's talk page and under the article's listing on Wikipedia:Copyright problems." Bayerischermann 04:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Scheduled vs chartered[edit]

Rule of thumb: if the Wikipedia article for the airline doesn't list Male as a scheduled destination, then it's not. Eg. Air China destinations doesn't have Male listed anywhere. Jpatokal 16:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Early days of Male International Airport[edit]

My father was one of the RAF NCOs who operated the airstrip in the early days (1963). He has photos and details of how it was operated. Would this be relevant to this page? Suelaw1954 (talk) 01:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it is about the same airport which was just an airstrip earlier, then it would definitely be relevant to this article. But before that, please go through the guidelines for uploading images. —Why so serious? ^{Talk to me} 17:05, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Turkish Airlines flight between Male and Colombo[edit]

In the body of the article there is a remark to not add Colombo as a Turkish Airlines destination from Male, because "they don't have traffic rights".

What does that mean? I don't know what "traffic rights" means, but TK does fly between Male and Colombo. I know because I flew that leg personally. Tdunsky (talk) 19:15, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Traffic rights mean that an airline is prohibited from picking Colombo originated passengers up and solely taking them to Male and TK doesn’t sell tickets solely for that route.97.85.118.142 (talk) 13:22, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
