Stub status?[edit]This article currently has {{canberra-stub}} and {{Airport-stub}} at the bottom. However, it does not appear that this article is, in fact, a stub. It may be in need of some expansion, but i don't think it qualifies as a stub. If there are no dissenting voices between now and the next time i think of it (maybe a week) i will remove them. -- Fudoreaper 21:57:44, 2005-08-25 (UTC)
CIA response[edit]I've had the following response from Canberra International Airport:
I'll upload the picture under the GFDL for the time being, but I would like guidance from others on the status of this image. --Jumbo 07:07, 26 August 2005 (UTC) Jumbo, I think the bast tag to put on the photo would be CopyrightedFreeUse --nixie 04:28, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Remove canberra category[edit]I've removed the Canberra category for this article as part of the effort to tidy up the Canberra/ACT categories]]. (See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canberra#Category:Canberra) It's felt that the Canberra category is too cluttered and that as it is a small jurisdiction, many of the articles relating to the City should probably sit under Category:Australian Capital Territory and its subcategories. If there is strong feeling that airports should contain the category that relates to the city they are in then perhaps this warrants some discussion, either here, on on the Canberra project talk page.

Merge Brand Depot[edit]I have tagged the Brand Depot article to be merged with the Canberra Airport article at the Brand Depot page. I feel that the proposed development is not yet notable and does not warrant an article of its own. I think a mention here will suffice, at least until it is built, and possibly after the fact as well, depending on its notability when it is complete. -- Adz|talk 00:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC) Brand Depot[edit]Brand Depot is independent of the Airport - probably best in my opinion to leave it separate, just as you would leave any other companies associated with the Airport separate.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Webfive (talk • contribs) .

Managed by...[edit]According to the CIA website, it is managed by Capital Airport Group Pty Limited. --Jumbo 20:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC) Changes by 59.167.40.48 on 21 June 2007[edit]I have felt it necessary to undo some of 59.167.40.48's changes because they are unsupported. I would really like it if 59.167.40.48 (or anyone else, for that matter) could reinstate them with supporting evidence. At the moment, they are simply opinion. I will reproduce them here so that reinstating them is easy. During peak hour, there are intense traffic jams both within the airport and along the access roads - Supporting evidence? - in this time commuters can spend up to 30 minutes. - Up to 30 minutes doing what? In a recent state election it was a minor issue - with the incumbent supporting the development. The challenger, David Madew, failed to convince the electorate that the development was inappropriate. - When is recent? Presumably NSW election? Whose judgement is it that it was a minor issue? Who is the incumbent? What relevance has this got to the subject "Location"? The proposed housing estates - That one is a fact!
Ouch! Both are opinion!! How does this one get resolved!!! My opinion is that "Accidents" should be a level2 heading, not level 3, and I have changed it accordingly. I think the references are a bit messy. I've tried to tidy them up. Pdfpdf 12:42, 21 June 2007 (UTC) More vandalism & propoganda[edit]203.17.154.218 continues to undo others' edits and introduce errors of fact and make unsubstantiated claims. I've placed information on that talk page, but have received no answer or acknowledgement, so now I've stopped being polite and I'm just reverting them. Pdfpdf 03:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC) I just reverted another case of vandalism. The whole section on housing issues and the NSW transport ministry in the "Noise and curfews" paragraph had been removed by IP 220.237.192.15. De728631 (talk) 23:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
b737-476 incident[edit]I have just read the Incident Report of the above indicent on the ATSB website (http://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2002/AAIR/aair200205179.aspx). The statement on the Canberra Airport page was inconsistent with the ATSB report, which I have corrected to reflect the ATSB report. I note further that this is not an accident, but rather an "incident", as defined in the ATSB report. Hence, should this be moved to another heading "Incidents", or should it be deleted? Also, while on this subject, it strikes me that this is an odd list of "accidents". There are two aviation accidents, one non-aviation accident and one incident (not an accident at all, by anyone's definition). If the level of accidents on airports are consistent with other airports of similar size, then it's likely that there are many more accidents than listed here, and hence this is an incomplete and somewhat arbitrary list. Is there a policy on what is supposed to be done? I've looked at other Australian airport pages, and I can't find any listings of accidents! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.108.182.144 (talk • contribs) 01:49, July 19, 200 (UTC)
Canberra airport caught censoring this article[edit]According to http://wired.reddit.com/wikidgame?offset=225#top an IP address traced to Canberra Airport has been editing this article to "to hide accidents, traffic chaos plus a general shining astroturf." The evidence is aparently at: http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/f.php?ip1=203.22.237.174&ip2=&ip3=&ip4= This isn't very cool behavior and would make the airport look really dumb if it was, say, confirmed and got into the Canberra Times. --Nick Dowling 08:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC) |

[edit]March 2008 - Recent accidents and incidents and Proposed services
[edit]Recent accidents and incidents
[edit]There was a "Recent accidents and incidents" section, but I removed it because none of the incidents were recent.
So, what is wanted and/or needed? Pdfpdf (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- The incidents are part of the history. Wikipedia should not be condentrating on the recent events, but should have an all of history approach. So any significant events from any time in the past should be included here. The article is not intended as a public relations tool for the airport. So my opinion is that the section should not include the word "recent" in its title. Incidents where people died should be included as being important. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:59, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- You make a good point. However, this topic is covered inconsistently; e.g. Melbourne Airport#Accidents and Incidents mentions only one incident, Kingsford Smith International Airport doesn't mention any. Pdfpdf (talk) 02:55, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- I think that's an argument for improving the coverage of incidents at other airports rather than removing those at Canberra. Gimboid13 (talk) 05:15, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I disagree - it's not an argument one way or the other. It's just an observation that coverage is inconsistent, and addressing the use of the word "recent" in the title. Pdfpdf (talk) 09:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Despite the fact that there must be dozens of incidents, very few seem to have found their way onto WP pages about airports. This issue must have been discussed before somewhere. (e.g. Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Aviation accident task force??). I've posted a question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation/Aviation accident task force#Incidents at Airports. Pdfpdf (talk) 09:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- And, very quickly, I got a reply:
Accidents and incidents for Airport project
[edit]The Airports project has just agreed a form of words for the inclusion of accidents or incidents in airport articles. Thought it may be of interest -
- Accidents or incidents should only be included if:
- The accident was fatal to either the aircraft occupants or persons on the ground.
- The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport.
- The accident invoked a change in procedures, regulations or process that had a wide effect on other airports or airlines or the aircraft industry.
MilborneOne (talk) 17:20, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Incidents at Airports
[edit]I've noticed that the reporting of incidents on WP pages for airports is very inconsistent. Are there any guidelines? Where can I find them? Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 09:18, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you look a couple of lines above, the criteria for airport articles is listed. Also appears at Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports. MilborneOne (talk) 10:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Pdfpdf (talk) 08:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Proposed services
[edit]A number of people have removed this section, without explanation, except "Wiki ian" who said "remove unverified information". As the information has been there less than a month (in one case, 2 days) and was flagged with "citation needed", I believe "Wiki ian" is being a bit too quick off the mark. What do other people think? Pdfpdf (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would say keep it there unless there is some reason to think it is incorrect. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Destinations Table
[edit]Pdfpdf has raised some concerns about the Destinations Table. Firstly, in regards to examples of the table in use; Singapore Changi Airport, Melbourne Airport and Brisbane Airport to just name a few. In regards to why, well, it makes a lot more sense at multi-terminal airports, like those linked, as you choose whether to sort by terminal, or airline, or destinations. But even for CBR, it does have an aestetic and organisational advantage over plain flat destinations, as well as alphabetic sorting of airlines. So, after addressing Pdfpdf's concerns, I shall restore the table. Mvjs (talk) 14:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Mmmm. I'm unconvinced that the table adds any value for Canberra. Largely, for a one terminal airport like Canberra, it just looks stupid.
- Regarding sortability, there's no terminal number variation to sort by, the table is already in sort by airline, and you can't sort by destination for two reasons: 1) you've switched off sort on that column, and 2) the data in that column is not in a useful format to sort.
- But even for CBR, it does have an aestetic and organisational advantage over plain flat destinations, as well as alphabetic sorting of airlines. - I have no idea what you are talking about:
- aesthetic - Yeah, OK, the table looks a bit prettier.
- organisational - There's nothing to organise!
- alphabetic - It's already alphabetic!
- So, after addressing Pdfpdf's concerns, - Pardon? You haven't addressed any of my concerns. Pdfpdf (talk) 14:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't mind Mvjs' table but Pdfpdf's table was good also however I didn't like the aesthetics of it. I also agree about the Terminal being useless since there is only 1. Bidgee (talk) 15:08, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- For the record, I didn't like the asthetics of my table either; I was referring to Mvjs' table vs the text that was originally there. Pdfpdf (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Changing subject - Can we delete that third column please? Pdfpdf (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Again for the record, I didn't create the table. It was created by http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Canberra_International_Airport&diff=211426456&oldid=209995672
- I agree that the terminals column should be removed. Mvjs (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Requested move

The result of the proposal was withdrawn. JPG-GR (talk) 00:34, 2 July 2008 (UTC) Canberra International Airport → Canberra Airport — The airport is known as Canberra Airport on it's website, Government, media and the Airport itself (the building). The Airport also has no direct international flights —Bidgee (talk) 14:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC) Survey[edit]
Discussion1[edit]
Discussion 1b[edit]
It's pretty obvious that official name of the airport by the company is Canberra International Airport. I don't think any one can reasonably argue that the company call the airport officially Canberra Airport, any references to the airport as simply Canberra Airport on the website is a lazy writer. Just take a look at the website - what's in the banner at the top, what's in the title? The official name of the airport is Canberra International Airport - where convenient, that name is used. Maybe there wasn't enough plastic in the factory to carve out the word international for the sign. But it is clear at an easy glance that the name the company has given the airport is Canberra International Airport. I feel that it's more of a question of are we going to use the name that the company has named the airport or are we going to say, "Stuff the official name, some other organisations are lazy and call it Canberra Airport so let's use that." Here's an example of one page that lists both names. [1] - Canberra Airport in the headline but Canberra International Airport in the article. In terms of most accurate, the airport has operated international flights in the past and there's no reason why they wont resume in the future. Would we then go and rename the article Canberra International Airport when those flights resume? Mvjs (talk) 00:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Discussion2[edit]
The majority of what "Discussion2" originally contained is irrelevant to the topic. The full discussion up to this point has been archived at Talk:Canberra International Airport/Archive#Discussion2. What remains above is the relevant bit.
Discussion3[edit]
Discussion4[edit]
Discussion5[edit]
Stocktake[edit]The "Survey" section above now says:
That looks pretty close to consensus to me ... Pdfpdf (talk) 07:17, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Post Script comments[edit]"Canberra International Airport" have release the 10th Anniversary issue of their publication "The Hub". I'm amused to see that they refer to the place as "Canberra Airport" ... Ho hum. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC) |
Access
[edit]The website claims that there are ACTION services from the airport itself to the city. This isn't quite correct as the only bus company to run buses from the airport to the city is Deanes. If you look at the ACTION website and click the link for airport it will direct you to the Deanes website (a competing bus company). There are bus services which run close (eg Brindabella business park) but none I (or ACTION) would call services to the airport. What are peoples thoughts on cleaning up this section?Harvyk (talk) 04:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- The problem(s) seem(s) to have been introduced by this edit which occurred on 18 July 2008. Pdfpdf (talk) 17:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- So is that a vote to change it? Harvyk (talk • contribs) 00:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Oh dear me - and I complain when people don't answer my questions! Sorry!!
- Yes, that is indeed a vote to change it.
- It is still possible to simply revert the abovementioned edit - that would be the simplest/quickest solution, but I convinced myself that it might not be the best solution. However, I also concluded that the best solution looked like a lot of work, so I went to bed (and forgot about it).

[edit]Diverted flights
[edit]I've just removed this statement from the article's lead: In addition to regular traffic, the airport handles diverted traffic from Melbourne (Tullamarine) and Sydney (Kingsford Smith) Airports when weather conditions restrict landings there. This is routine for all airports, and is particularly unnotable for Canberra airport as the large distances between Canberra and Sydney and Melbourne and the unavailability of fast alternate transportation mean that passengers on the diverted flights have to wait until they can fly out of Canberra to their destination: Canberra airport is in now way an alternate for Sydney or Melbourne airports. Nick-D (talk) 11:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Curfew 4 Canberra
[edit]Under Noise, noise sharing and curfews, the last paragraph for Curfew 4 Canberra reads in a very similar nature to one of their pamphlets, especially the words "and the impact this will have on the quality of life for all residents of the Canberra region". Now as a Canberra resident I feel the exact opposite, I feel that a curfew would in fact negatively impact my life. Could someone please fix this section up otherwise I'll be removing it as blatant propaganda. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.251.161 (talk) 06:03, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- "Could someone please fix this section up otherwise I'll be removing it as blatant propaganda."
- I have sympathy for your point-of-view, but there is nothing "wrong" with that paragraph - it states, with a supporting reference, the platform of "Curfew 4 Canberra". Of course it's their point of, but never-the-less, it is a statement of fact, the fact being that this is their platform / point of view.
- It is not purporting to be the view of everyone in Canberra.
- What would you want it changed to?
- P.S. Please sign your contributions - it also puts a timestamp. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Change of Name
[edit]I'm a newbie here, but Canberre Airport changed its name some time last year to drop the "international" component. See their website and all the aricles and press. I've even checked the asic register and it's changed. Perhaps suggest that a more experienced user change the page tilte too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.78.240.201 (talk) 21:40, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea, but you can see there was a big discussion on this above, so I think we need to have a bit more consensus before moving it again. I can confirm that the company web site has no "international" on it now. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, but even more than consensus, we need reliable quotable supporting evidence.
- Experience has shown that the Canberra Airport website is NOT a reliable source on this matter.
- Also, as discussed above at length, there is:
- "the "official" name;
- "the name(s) the public calls it";
- "the name(s) Canberra International Airport Pty Ltd call it";
- "the name(s) on the Canberra Airport website";
- etc
- What is the "official" name? --Pdfpdf (talk) 01:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- How does one check the ASIC register?
- On what date did this change occur?
- When there is some reliable supporting evidence, then the page name change can proceed. --Pdfpdf (talk) 01:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Aviation weather links
[edit]Canadian and American airports generally contain a link to an aviation weather source in their external link section. Why should airports in this country be different?DSatYVR (talk) 22:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
high speed rail
[edit]just because people talk about it doesn't mean it's encyclopaedic. people have spoken about recently a high speed rail link between Beijing and Europe, does that mean it gets a mention in the Beijing article? there are nowhere any concrete plans to build high speed rail to Canberra. it's just something we would like, but is unlikely to happen in next 30 years. LibStar (talk) 12:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- the cited source is also a dead link. 210.56.73.99 (talk) 12:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- I have toned down the expectation of it, and made it more NPOV in terms of it is being considered along with other airports. LibStar (talk) 12:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- I think you did a very good job there. The section is MUCH better with your contribution. Thank you. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- thanks, to someone not familiar they would think it was a certainty. LibStar (talk) 12:35, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Fair comment. All the more reason why your contribution is valuable. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:40, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Minor problem:

- ... this option ... would be the cheapest and quickest to implement. ...
That sounds contradictory to me. Am I missing something? Pdfpdf (talk) 12:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- because the latter text was from a questionable source that is now a dead link. I've removed that text. the Sydney Morning Herald, is far more reliable. LibStar (talk) 12:51, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Far more informative, too. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Name change (Canberra Airport)
[edit]The website [7] has changed over to using "Canberra Airport". Is this enough to warrant changing the page name? News reports all seem to use "Canberra Airport" as well. [8] [9]
Qantas refers to it as both "Canberra Domestic Airport" [10] and "Canberra Airport" [11]
Also, has there ever been any international flights? Does it have the required facilities (customs, quarantine etc)?
--RobBrisbane (talk) 21:39, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- There was once an international flight to New Zealand. Also the Prime Minister's jet often leaves from Canberra so there are international flights. Customs travel out from Civic on request to do the paperwork. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- a) Look at Talk:Canberra International Airport#Requested move and Talk:Canberra International Airport#Change of Name. Also of possible interest are Talk:Canberra International Airport#International traffic and Talk:Canberra International Airport#Destinations Table
- b) Yes, there was once a sheduled service to Fiji. (Probably the same flight stopped in New Zealand.)
- c) No, it doesn't have the required facilities on-site. (Customs travel out from Civic on request to do the paperwork.)
- d) What used to be called RAAF Base Fairbairn is on the opposite side of the runway. The PM's jet leaves from there - not from Canberra Airport. Similarly, foreign heads of state and other official VIPs fly in and out of whatever RAAF Base Fairbairn is now called - not Canberra Airport.
- Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:01, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- When I said New Zealand, it was one flight to take a rugby team from Canberra. Which I mentioned half in jest. However one issue to sort out is exactly what is Canberra airport, if you are excluding the other side. I would have counted that as part of the airport too. I suspect that the other side of the airport facilities pay rent. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:07, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- When I said New Zealand, it was one flight to take a rugby team from Canberra. Which I mentioned half in jest. - I see. I thought you were talking about a regular service. Mea Culpa.
- Yeah. Well, for a period of time (I don't know when), there was a regular scheduled service to somewhere in the Pacific (I'm not sure where, but I think it was Fiji), and this was why Mr Snow's cohorts were able to feel justified in registering the company name and naming the airport accordingly.
- I suspect it has been an embarassment to them that they have not been an "International Airport" for some years, and hence their change of letterhead, signs and references on their website.
- However, none of that addresses the question of "What is the 'Official' name of the Airport?", nor the predecessor question, "What does 'Official' mean?". Pdfpdf (talk) 12:46, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- Now you raise an equally important question: "Exactly, what is Canberra airport?" Isn't "What does 'Official' mean?" already a big enough can-of-worms for you? ;-)
- I would have counted that as part of the airport too. - I sincerely doubt the answer is that simple.
- I suspect that the other side of the airport facilities pay rent. - Yes. The Fairbairn, Canberra page either states or implies that. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:46, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
No passenger pickup
[edit]The airport seems to be against passenger pickup:
"Private vehicles are not permitted to pick-up passengers at the road kerb immediately outside the terminal. Vehicles may not park or 'stand' for extended periods while awaiting arriving passengers, or while carrying out any other function. Like unattended luggage, idle vehicles within close proximity to the terminal represent a potential security threat." [12]

Qatar Air

[edit]Marriage Equality
[edit]The following two sentences were removed:
Canberra Airport supports Marriage Equality,[55] with the airport lit up in rainbow colors prior to the 2015[56] and 2017[57] parliamentary sittings. The airport is linked to the lobby group, Australians for Equality.[55][58]
with the justification that, "a marriage equality section in an airport article is absurd"
Canberra Airport's involvement with Marriage Equality is substantial. Since 2015, it continues to make its position on this, very clear. The airport uses rainbow lighting, plus electronic and 3D message boards, as a message to incoming national parliamentarians prior to national debates on Marriage Equality. Canberra Airport was intimately involved with the establishment of the lobby group 'Australians for Equality', headed by the successful by Irish marriage campaigner Tiernan Brady. Airports are not just 'physical infrastructure', they are a vital component of the nation's social fabric. To say it is "absurd" to link an airport with equality, is no doubt a view Canberra Airport is working to overcome. Recommend reinstate the sentences.
B20097 (talk) 10:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- This is ridiculous: what other major airport article in the world has a big section about their owner's involvement with political issues? You being extremely passionate about a subject does not make it relevant to every single topic that has ever tangentially come into contact with it. The Drover's Wife (talk) 10:29, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- If there are enough independent reliable sources to establish notability of the airport's involvement then it can be mentioned, however most links you've provided there B20097 are primary. Can you provide evidence of in-depth secondary sources for the topic? -- Whats new?(talk) 23:16, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- The two sentences removed were supported by 3 secondary source citations: [55], [56], [57] and one (non-critical and dispensable) primary source citation: [58]. There are dozens of independent, in-depth, secondary, reliable sources available for this topic : Search > "Canberra Airport" rainbow. B20097 (talk) 09:55, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- Agree with The Drover's Wife, article is about an airport, not marriage equality rights. The causes or campaigns an owner choses to support are of no relevance to the article. Laliglu (talk) 05:35, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- It would be undue to include it as there are other advertisers at the airport with long running ppromotions that should also be left out. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:00, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- @User:Graeme Bartlett: What advertisers are those? Were their advertisements reported by major news sources? Did they involve an elaborate multi-color lighting scheme? Were they ordered by the airport's general manager? This seems rather different. @User:Laliglu: that would likely be true if the owner didn't choose to make extremely conspicuous public statements about those causes at his own airport. @User:The Drover's Wife: what "big section" are you referring to? The section you removed contained 32 words. On my browser, that renders just over one line. I realize that "big" is often subjective, but really? Thirty-two words?
- I wonder if anyone who favors excluding the contested content actually read the ABC news article linked above (and linked again here for convenience). The Sydney Morning Herald covered it in similar detail, so we have multiple major news sources covering it. B20097 also linked a secondary source showing sustained secondary-source coverage, this time two years later and at a site dealing with airport passenger terminals, which indicates specialized as well as general interest. It looks noteworthy to me. RivertorchFIREWATER 05:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- Actually it is interesting that the canberra airport does not comply with ACT legislation in repect to billboards. eg https://www.canberraairport.com.au/corporate/business-services/advertising/ . I will also make the point that "Marriage Equality" is not a neutral term, and is biased to make a point. The neutral term is "Same-sex marriage". Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:59, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- I see no reason it can't be briefly mentioned given multiple RS exist, and it is not given undue weight in the article. The term 'marriage equality' is arguably more commonly used in Australia than same-sex marriage in recent times. -- Whats new?(talk) 06:06, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- @User:Graeme Bartlett: I accept that "same-sex marriage" is standard Wikipedia terminology, but I assure you it is far from neutral. In any event, I believe the exact wording isn't at issue here; the exclusion of noteworthy, reliably sourced content is. RivertorchFIREWATER 07:22, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Statistics > Projections made in 2003 for Total passengers and aircraft movements
[edit]The Total passengers and aircraft movements projections were based on a 2005 Primary Source, Master Plan. Comparing with actual movements, some of these Airport-provided-projections are obviously 100%+ wrong. While there are later PS projections, available suggest drop these projections altogether, or at least use any BITRE projections. 110.147.145.160 (talk) 02:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Canberra Airport or Canberra International Airport
[edit]There are subsubsection International flights, but the title is only Canberra Airport, I think must be Canberra International Airport.Gsarwa (talk) 19:50, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Possible source
[edit]Does this source of 7 May 2003 relate to this page, or the RAAF Fairbairn one? 🤔
"Work on a massive aircraft hangar at an RAAF base in Canberra has been suspended after the structure collapsed.
The accident happened just before 12:00pm AEST, injuring 12 construction workers."
The $11 million hangar is a joint project between the Defence Department and the Capital Airport Group." @ https://www.abc.net.au/news/2003-05-07/hangar-work-suspended-after-collapse/1850180

Accidents and Incidents
[edit]Noting the previous discussion of accidents and incidents that dates back to 2008, i'd like to seek some consensus on the inclusion of the Link Airways/Virgin Australia flight 633 incident where a propellor strap was left attached and punctured the fuselage on take off in November 2022. The damage to the aircraft was minor and I can see that the ATSB's investigation is still ongoing so not sure what the impact will be on procedures across the industry just yet, however its interesting that the airline denied any injuries, but the ATSB/AFP have stated 3 minor injuries. And its also just a very strange occurrence, not only that a strap was left in place, but that it stayed secure during taxi and only hit the aircraft while on the take off roll! Are there any objections to including this one in the article, or would you prefer we wait? Dfadden (talk) 05:48, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Given it's a serious enough incident to have led to an ATSB investigation, it should be included. Nick-D (talk) 06:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- In the absence of any objections, I've included the incident per WP:BOLD, but happy for a discussion should anyone consider it not worthy for inclusion! Dfadden (talk) 12:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
