[edit] Naming
The name of this airline is a little unclear. The web page talks mostly about "DRUK AIR" and references a Druk Air Corporation Ltd, so I've opted for Druk Air as the name. The "Royal Bhutan Airlines" bit seems parenthetical, and the spelling "Drukair" as found on the A319's seems to be just stylistic. Jpatokal 03:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I agree, and I see that Kuensel takes the same approach. technopilgrim
[edit] Removing "this is a stub" tag
I feel safe in removing the stub tag in that the article already enumerates every plane the airline has every owned, plus every flight in its schedule. I'm not optimistic that the article can be expanded significantly without giving the names of specific flight crew members. Some articles just aren't destined to be 30KB hogs. Good work & I'd say this article is plenty full-size given the topic. technopilgrim 21:19, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Fleet
I was in Paro over (US) Thanksgiving this year (2005). The BAe 146's were still parked in Paro. Based on the Druk Air inflight magazine it seemed that they were still in use. Perhaps summers only? I flew in and out on A319s
[edit] Fleet Update
I work for Flybe in Exeter, UK, and we hold the maintenance contracts for the Druk Air BAe146's. One has had a heavy maintenance (C Check) this week, and is still operational.
The aircraft also had its Royal Bhutan Airlines livery replaced with a new Druk Air livery
