Talk:Jaffna International Airport

message: A  believes this airport is civilian and is demanding reliable sources to show that it is only manned by the Sri Lanka Air Force personnel. He however has not provided any sources to show that this is a civilian airport. Nevertheless, here are the reliable sources to show that this is a military aiport:
* Sunday Times 02.08.15 - The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF)-manned Palali airport located in the Jaffna peninsula...
* Island 29.07.13 - The government pointed out to the visiting delegation that except for the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and Mattala airport, all other airports in the country are managed by the SLAF though privately owned choppers and fixed wing aircraft use them.
* Island 26.11.00 - Apart from the Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake which comes under the purview of the Airport and Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (AAASL), all other airfields in the country are owned and operated by the SLAF.
* SLAF - The major role of this [Sri Lanka Air Force] Station is the maintenance of the airfield to provide air traffic services to both military and commercial aircraft.
* Aeronautical Information Services - "VCCJ - KANKESANTURAI / Jaffna...Controlling authority: SLAF"

replies: text: I don't think, move to Palay Airport is right. The owner of the Airport is Government of Sri Lanka and the Airport is used for both the military and civilian purposes, why the operator SLAF crest should be there?Pathmaraman (talk) 17:22, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You asked for sources to show that the airport is manned/operated/controlled by the SLAF and these have been provided. Ignoring the WP:RS have removed the SLAF crest. And ignoring WP:COMMONNAME you have moved the article from Jaffna Airport and Palaly Airport. "Palaly Airport" in no way implies the airport is military. You are ignoring Wikipedia policies to get your own way.--obi2canibetalk contr 17:36, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Then, better change the name as SLAF base in Jaffna.Pathmaraman (talk) 17:51, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: You, yourself stated, it is a Military Airport. Jaffna Airport is a misleading term. It should be altered as Sri Lanka AirForce Base, Jaffna.Pathmaraman (talk) 23:40, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
