Comment: Noting that article on this same topic was deleted through AfD a week ago. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Asman Airlines - Ratnahastin (talk) 14:20, 13 December 2024 (UTC)- Comment: I am not familiar with the content of the previous article. But in this case it is already the largest regional airline in the country, flying to 7 destinations. I think it has more right to exist than an Riyadh Air airline that doesn't have a single flight.
