CLEANUP

The part of the article which discusses services is terribly biased and contains unreferenced statements. Where is the proof of the 'high-level of comfort and safety'? They haven't linked an airline quality review site. It looks like one of their employees just wrote a whole load a tripe thinking Wikipedia users are supid. Consequently I am removing some of it.

Lessor of the A340s

I suggest removing the "Leased from Lufthansa" note from the fleet. The source that is quoted (flight international) says that these aircraft are leased, and that they are ex Lufthansa. They were leased by Lufthansa from the same company that now leases them to Air Namibia (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-51.htm). Nowhere in the source is it stated that Lufthansa is now the company leasing them to Air Namibia. Airfleet.net states (http://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Air%20Namibia-active-a340.htm) the MSN being 47 and 51. These frames have their individual entries (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-47.htm) and (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-51.htm), where Air France and Sabena have been listed as previous operators. Lufthansa had these aircraft for only three years. They got them used (unlike any other A340s), and quite later than the previous planes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.204.38.63 (talk) 11:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid the urls you provide above prove nothing.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 11:54, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So what does the URL in the references prove? It never says anything about Lufthansa being the lessor, just that they were the previous operator. But, I continued googleing and found this: http://www.bciaircraft.com/assets/files/pdf/press/20080908_BCI_Air_Naimbia.pdf Can we use this and delete the note?

A330 in the past

Jetstream, the A330 was listed in the 'retired' section of the fleet info, but the source states that these aircraft have been ordered for delivery in 2013. I clearly stated this when editing. Isn't this enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.47.36.157 (talk) 18:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the source you are referring to? Your claims are unsupported by any reference and violates WP:VERIFY.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 19:40, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Found a source. Will add it to the article.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 20:05, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see that you agree it may be added to the fleet table and leave it out of the 'retired' list! Sad to see you insist I was vandalizing the entry when I clearly was not (rather it was you immideately reverting my edit without reading why I did it) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.47.55.68 (talk) 08:20, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You weren't providing a source at all, that's why I reverted your edits sticking to WP:VERIFY, as I mentioned above. See also WP:VNT. Cheers.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 10:23, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
