An attempted airline that never flew a single flight. At least they sold some tickets, better than some, but those tickets never flew. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 03:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Interesting article, notable, and well-written. LogicalCreator (talk) 04:03, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is no rule that companies must be successful to be notable. Multiple reliable sources, significant as a part of Wikipedia's comprehensive coverage of civil aviation, no valid reason to delete.--Arxiloxos (talk) 04:19, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it's possible for something to be notable without ever becoming a thing, provided sources exist (e.g. Great Mall of Las Vegas). Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:27, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:EPICFAIL. Ahem, forget that little pun. I mean that spectacular failures are no less notable in and of themselves than spectacular successes. It is harder to find coverage on them though, with few, very notable exceptions (Lehman Brothers anyone???) and it can even be notable for the very failure and nothing else. 217.251.152.109 (talk) 07:30, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
SNOW Keep per Hammer and Arxiloxos. Also, notability is not temporary. - Jorgath (talk) ^(contribs) 18:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not saying notability is temporary, saying this was never notable in the first place. Absent some kind of scandal, airlines become notable when they fly. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 00:24, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Airlines become notable when they meet the general notability guideline, whether they ever flew or not. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:03, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
