[edit]

I took the liberty of removing the rather exhaustive list of services offered as part of the "Star Class" option, as well as simplifying the list of destinations served by this airline, both of which were obviously directly copied from their website. Bear in mind that Wikipedia does not exist to convince people of the superiority of a particular company. We are not a free advertising service. If you take a look at easyjet for example, there is no marketing spiel of this type present. I have summarised the list of destinations and the "Star class" into one short section. Does anyone have any suggestions pertaining to this site? Yandman 07:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The destination list has been simplified into a list of the destinations, and with extra inserts allowing winter season and from summer 2007 sections to be added. The smaller service information sections remains. No advertising on this article as per before. The existing destination list has just been seperated out and bullet points added. No copying from the website.

The B787-8 order is still going ahead, any suggestions that it is not, is not fact and therefore should not be written in this article.

Nonsense Sentence[edit]

Anybody knows what this means "The airlines 3 letter ICAO code does not appear to be recognized by US census and perhaps 99F should be used for United States Automated export system declarations." if nobody can explain it I will delete it MilborneOne 22:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- When the 3 letter code changed from AMM to FCA (2004ish) there was an issue in the US that 'FCA' was already in use. This was cleared up quickly and is now not an issue.

Update[edit]

To make it easier to navagate and see what flights go from what airports i have added a new section to destinations. if you look you save me some time telling. its not finished yet but will be in the next few days.

I have also added a section called"for aviation enthusiasts". It consists of the aircraft log and CN plus previous ID's and little comments:eg.leased to.....

I have added a link (the same as this one > [1]) to the Fleet paragraph following this link gives all the latest and official data from the UK Civil Aviation Authority on the First Choice Fleet. I propose that the Fleet details is therefore removed. If we added fleet detail for every airline it would take a lot of maintenance. Could contributers please sign their comments MilborneOne 00:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This Is A Waste Of Page Space. I have Removed The Tabel Re Where The Airline Flies to and from as Destinations are already covered. If somebody wants this info they can follow the links at the bottom of the page. Fleet detail should be removed.

I have removed the fleet detail see comments above. MilborneOne 22:57, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Destinations[edit]

The current list of destinations are that of the first choice airways website. They do not fly to St. Lucia or anywhere not listed on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voyagerweb (talk • contribs)

I've added a few destinations that FCA fly to, but were not listed (Varna being the main example). Also destinations in Finland that are non-First Choice Group flights, but that the airline flies to on behalf of other tour operators. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CKnight16 (talk • contribs)

Merger[edit]

There is nothing confirmed about how the airlines will merge, and currently anything can happen, one airlines staff is being told they both will remain the other is being told they both will merge, so the editied paragragh reflects this until such a time that a confirmation is recieved from the board at TUI Travel PLC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voyagerweb (talk • contribs) 16:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Air2000[edit]

Air2000 deserves a separate article. At the moment it is redirected, if someone can un-redirect it and start Air2000 then I will add a lot of info. Sorry, I can't be bothered registering! 90.206.27.56 (talk) 19:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry. Air2000 is correctly spelled as Air 2000 and already has a page. I changed the redirect 90.206.27.56 (talk) 19:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
