Talk:Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport

message: I've been following up on entries about Kurmitola's (and Shamshernagar Airfield) history as a World War II air base for the Flying Tigers for operations Over the Hump, taking fuel and supplies to Kunming, China from India. For instance, see Charles Woods. There are a few third party website that talks quite descriptively about the use of Kurmitola and Shamshernagar as US Army Air Corps bases. There's a 3rd party website with black and white photos of aircraft at Kurmitola too afaik. I am pretty convinced that Kurmitola refers specifically to present day Zia Int'l Airport, while the predominant airport for Dhaka was otherwise Tejgaon airport till 1981
Similarly (but not sure if this is the right place to discuss it), Feni Airfield (now abandoned) was used by the Royal Air Force / British Army as a base too for separate South-east Asia operations.

thread_title:  Inclusion of History? 

message: Please discuss the possible name change here before moving the article. As it is, a name such as "Hazrat Shahjalal (R) International Airport" seems rather implausible. Thanks, Jasepl (talk) 03:51, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: While unfortunate, the name change is actually a decision by the current Government of Bangladesh. The full name probably won't have the (R) part (i.e., the name will prob. be Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport). However, I think we can wait till the name is officially changed (i.e. in terms of signs, documents, as well as IATA codes) to the new name. For the time being, we can simply mention the name change. --Ragib (talk) 03:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. I know nothing about Bangladesh politics, so I won't comment on that. However, I do agree that we need to wait until the proposal becomes reality and the name is officially changed. And yes, inclusion of the "(R)" made it seem rather implausible to me. Thanks, Jasepl (talk) 03:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ragib, you dont need to provide us with your opinion on whether its fortunate or unfortunate. For many Zia is a legendary president, but as his role comes increasingly under scrutiny, especially for his complacency in the events of August 15, many do feel that its wrong to have our premier international airport named after our country's first military dictator. My point simply is, you being a veteran in Wikipedia, should really know better before casting forth an opinion like that.--122.144.10.15 (talk) 10:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

text: The (R) part is short for Radiallahu ta'ala anhu, i.e., a phrase of praise about the saint. When mentioning the saint Shahjalal's name some people use this phrase. I'm curious whether this will be a part of the official name, since including it makes the name quite awkward sounding to an outsider. Let's wait for the new signboard ... :) --Ragib (talk) 04:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree also. Until we see the official unveiling, we should stick with "Zia". My personal view is the name will be "Shah Jalal International Airport" (without the honorifics) just as Chittagong was changed to Shah Amanat International Airport. → AA (talk) — 10:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

text: According to , the Daily Star, the name change has been finalized. So it is redundant to keep the old name. Canadian (talk) 16:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name Change 

message: I read in the online newspaper few months ago that the Government of Bangladesh has made the name change of the airport as noted in the subject line of this message. It would be great if widipedia reflects such changes in all the documents it serves.
:Official name is Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, thats how major reservations systems like Amadeus are showing it as well, I think title should be changed to the full one, as for the archived discussion on the subject, one user has stated that "Hazrat" is just a title, well so is "Sri" and Amritsar Raja Sansi Airport has just been renamed as Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, please note here "Jee" is a title too, and wikipedia is incorporating the whole name as article title they are not ditching Sri nor the unecessary Jee bit either, If international media start referring to it as Guru Ram Dass Int'l Airport or just Ram Dass Int'l Airport will you change it to that?. How some international sources incorrectly address Dhaka airport should not influence wikipedia, its how Bangladesh has named it officially that counts.119.155.46.15 (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

text: *Support per WP:COMMONNAME; the first 7-8 pages of Google news search results refer to the airport as "Hazrat Shahjalal" without exception. Also, although I'm definitely not a subject matter expert, my understanding is that "Hazrat" is an honorific religious title, so it makes sense for it to always be included.
