thread_title: Name of the Prague Airport

message: May I ask whether there could be possibly added a paragraph
about the history of Ruzyne International Airport, based on what can be found 
at http://www.prg.aero/en/site/airport/o_spolecnosti/historie/historie_od_zalozeni.htm ? 
Until those more experienced and wise wikipedia users decide whether the article about history of airport is fit to be moved to main article, I place it here at this discussion site to be steadily improved.
History of Ruzyne International Airport
The Prague – Ruzyně Airport began operation on April 5, 1937, but the civil aviation started at the military airport in Prague - Kbely in 1919. 
Due to insufficient capacity of the Kbely airport in the middle of 30s of last century, the Government decided to develop a new State Civil Airport in Ruzyně. The Ruzyně fields have been chosen by aviation experts in 1929 and the building ban applied at the same time to the neighborhoods close to the airport as well as the towns nearby. The area of 108 hectares (the then value of 17.5m Crowns) was of an approximate trapezoid shape. 
An anonymous public tender has been announced in 1931 for a complete airport solution including the budget. The airport area was located 10 km West from the city centre in the average latitude of 363 meters. Of the total area of 108 hectares, 35 hectares were built on. The runway system consisted of grassy starting and landing lanes.  
The basic development began on July 4, 1933. The landscaping took eleven months. The contractors were allowed to use only limited mechanization, as one of the objectives of the airport development was to reduce unemployment. The development took 44 months and the airport was completed on March 1, 1937 including excellent parameters and equipment, so that one of the major awards of Prague Ruzyně Airport include Diploma and Gold Medal granted in 1937 at the occasion of the International Art and Technical Exhibition in Paris for the technical conception of the central airport, primarily the architecture of check-in building designed by architect Ing. A. Beneš. 
The Czechoslovakia occupation in 1939 and the war slowed down the air transportation in such extent that the airport was back at the beginning in 1945. The Prague-Ruzyně airport re-launched civil aviation again in June 1945, although with some limitations.
Clearly, the political and economic changes affected the seventy years of existence of the Prague-Ruzyně Airport. Ten entities were responsible for airport administration over time, including the new construction and development. Until 90s of the last century, there were two or three decade gaps before the major modernization of the Prague-Ruzyně Airport began in order to match the current capacity requirements. 
 
Prague-Ruzyně Airport Development Phases
Basic development: 1933-1937
Extraordinary development (did not influence the overall airport development, the objective was to enable operation of new jet planes): 1957 – 1968 
II. development, so called new development in the Northern construction site: 1961 - 1968, resp. 1972.
III. development (also reconstruction and expansion of the check-in building and development of board services building): 1989 – 1993
IV. development, the second major part of development with a construction of a new Northern check-in complex, including reconstruction of the check-in building from 1968. The parking space has been expanded and new support buildings and communication system were developed: 1995 - 1997.
The Prague-Ruzyně Airport, Air Navigation Services, Civil Aviation Authority, ČSA and private investors participated in the development of purpose-built facilities or reconstruction of the existing buildings during 90s. 
V. development – so called Europe Development was launched in 2003. Terminal North 2 targets the annual capacity of 10 million passengers with the following development of the parallel starting and landing lanes 06R/24L.
The future development until 2020 expects the extension of the annual capacity of the Prague-Ruzyně Airport up to 20 million passengers.

thread_title:  History of Ruzyne International Airport 

message: I propose moving Ruzyně International Airport to Prague Airport. Most importantly, Ruzyně International Airport is not how the airport is called. See its official website.
The airport itself in located in Ruzyně, which is a part of Prague, it serves to Prague and its original name is Letiště Praha. Similarly, Birmingham International Airport is located in Solihull. However, it is quite reasonably called Birmingham International Airport. Koristka (talk) 19:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: Has a lot of the article been written by native Czech speakers? I'm not knocking anyone (I wish I could write a Wikipedia article in German or French :) ), some of the sentence formations just seem a bit odd: probably like some of my German sentences.

thread_title:  Language of the Article 

message: I have slightly changed the wording of the beginning of the first sentence in the History section, as it is totally inaccurate to say "Czechoslovakia, today Czech Republic". Czechoslovakia is not today Czech Republic, as Czechoslovakia has two descendant states, Czech Republic being one of them and Slovak Republic being the other.

thread_title:  Czechoslovakia vs Czech Republic 

message: The airport is adopting the (nonsense Czenglish word order) name "Václav Havel Airport Prague" as of today. Should the article be renamed? - filelakeshoe 09:53, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, this is apparently the official English version of the name… Maybe the original intent was to include a dash, i.e. “Václav Havel Airport – Prague”.  --Mormegil (talk) 22:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is, to be honest I would keep the article at "Václav Havel Airport Prague". The original intent was to call it "Prague Airport - Václav Havel" actually. - filelakeshoe 09:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

text: Well, there are a lot of sources using "Prague Václav Havel Airport", presumably because it's correct English and the official name is not,   , and because there's no real reason for the airport to have an unconventional name. Maybe we could compromise and move it to "Václav Havel Airport", cf John F. Kennedy International Airport? - filelakeshoe 09:38, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

text: All these sources are wrong, OFFICIAL english name is "Vaclav Havel Airport Prague", see . This word order may be inconventional, but it's the official name of the airport, I don't see any reason why the name should be Prague Václav Havel Airpot (as is right now).
