Suggest removal and/or relocation of logos

Perhaps a current logo would be informative and relevant to the article, but including two old logos at the bottom may not be. I suggest if one is included at all, it be added closer to the top of the article- as that would be most relevant and at a more appropriate location. 68.79.97.96 (talk) 04:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Error

Hi, this paragraph seems wrong: "Air Transat has 2,667 employees[4] The aircraft safely landed at Lajes Air Base, on the island of Terceira. The aircraft was evacuated in 90 seconds. All 306 passengers on board survived. Afterwards, an investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was a fuel leak in the number two engine which was caused by an incorrect part installed in the hydraulics system by Air Transat maintenance staff. The part did not maintain adequate clearance between the hydraulic lines and the fuel line, allowing vibration in the hydraulic lines to degrade the fuel line and cause the leak." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.40.37 (talk) 19:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was a bit of code that was not correctly restored following some vandalism recently. Now corrected. MilborneOne (talk) 19:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Codeshare

Someone had reverted an edit saying certain flights are operated by Thomas Cook Airlines. I updated the Services section: it is more accurate to say that it's a codeshare service, which is the exact wording the airline uses on its website.

For example: I recently booked Air Transat flight 806 from Gatwick to Montreal. My e-ticket said "operated by Thomas Cook Airlines under designator TCX6K". Sure enough, it was a Thomas Cook Airlines Boeing 757 I boarded at Gatwick, but the check-in counter, the aircraft door and most of the announcements said Canadian Affair, the name of a tour operator owned by Transat.

I removed edit about Thomas Cook as I believe that the airline is being confused with the tour operator. Thomas Cook operate for Canadian Affair but that is nothing to do with the airline Air Transat. This is an article about the airline not the tour operator.

From the Canadian Affair website Canadian Affair maintains strategic alliances with Thomas Cook Airlines which are exclusive to the company’s Canadian routes. again nothing to do with the airline Air Transat. MilborneOne (talk) 17:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe so, but what do you make of flight TS806 "operated by Thomas Cook Airlines"? That's a pretty clear example of codeshare to me. Even the official website says "codeshare", so I really don't understand why you reverted that sourced edit. AirOdyssey (Talk) 03:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK understood, I will remove it if you add mention of Thomas Cook and Skyservice with a reliable reference. MilborneOne (talk) 11:27, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I reinstated the two sources I had originally quoted, plus one of many airtransat.ca pages that display a prominent message at the bottom titled: "IMPORTANT NOTICE - FLIGHTS OPERATED UNDER CODE SHARING WITH AIR TRANSAT". AirOdyssey (Talk) 17:18, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
