Road crossing runway
[edit]The article states "There is a road that crosses the runway; traffic must be stopped for aircraft to take off, similar to the Gibraltar Airport." Is this still true? I saw no evidence of such a road last week, and neither does OpenStreetMap's map of Port Blair. Jpatokal (talk) 07:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Vir Savarkar Airport → Veer Savarkar International Airport — Relist. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:03, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
The official name is Veer Savarkar International Airport. Take a look at this picture of the airport, and in particular the sign: [1] In addition, "Veer Savarkar Airport" beats "Vir..." by 42,800 to 1,200 on Google, making it the most common name as well as the most official one. Jpatokal (talk) 11:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
As can clearly be seen from the sign on the airport building [2], the official name is Veer Savarkar International Airport. It was moved to the current title with no discussion, and should be restored. Jpatokal (talk) 05:51, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose The Airports Authority of India disagrees here. Skinsmoke (talk) 21:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- That page is very old and doesn't even capitalized "Airport" correctly. This official tender from AAI, on the other hand, is very consistent in using Veer Savarkar International ("V.S.I.") Airport (eg. page 3, "Airports Authority of India, VEER SAVARKAR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, PORT BLAIR."). Sources from 2002, when the airport was renamed, also use "VSI".

- Comment Thanks for that. On that basis I am happy to change to Support Skinsmoke (talk) 15:10, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
