Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pearl Aviation
Pearl Aviation may only have 3 aircraft now, but it has some coverage over its history, and |notability is not temporary. Pearl Aviation is a subsidiary of the Paspaley company, previously held contracts in the Northern Territory and New South Wales to operate air ambulance services (known as Royal Flying Doctor Service in NSW), and still holds a contract with Airservices Australia as part of a joint venture to survey their aircraft navigation systems across Australia. There appears to have been some coverage of Pearl back in and around 2010 when the NT Government put the air ambulance services out to tender and Pearl lost the contract because of its ageing aircraft and concerns with the company. See articles more generally here by way of example: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/air-rescue-group-gave-to-coalition/news-story/6792c7924d74daf5c33aff4f6aba605d report on donations to the Liberal Party by Paspaley at the time the contract was tendered, https://australianaviation.com.au/2018/08/nsw-air-ambulance-half-century-of-caring-history/ mention of the company in a history of air ambulance services in Australia, https://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2008/s2412626.htm radio report on safety concerns raised by Pearl, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-03-16/aeromedical-nurses-facing-axe-union/366632 more on runway safety, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-12-12/henderson-plays-down-pearl-aviation-shortfall/238352 ABC article on the cancellation of the contract with Pearl, https://australianaviation.com.au/2010/06/rfds-upgrade-for-alice-springs/ on the tender process, http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/tag/flying-doctor a mention here on the tender process, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-27/20110727aeromed-death-finding/2812674 coroner report article about a death caused by a delay on a Pearl flight, https://australianaviation.com.au/2019/11/from-the-archives-airservices-australia-and-the-calibration-of-a-nation/ on its Airservices Australia inspection services, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-21/paspaley-pearls-airline-dumps-staff/7106142 article in 2016 about it downsizing, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-15/pearl-aviation-sheds-staff-as-resources-downturn-takes-its-toll/7092380 another one from 2016. I haven't done any searching of its potential history relating to Skywest either - which might have even more coverage. At worst, if the consensus is that there shouldn't be a standalone article, the content (which is sourced - though could be improved by the above) should be merged to the main Paspaley article as part of their operations
