Ceiba Intercontinental Airlines Flight 71 → 2015 Senegal mid-air collision – Mid-air collisions are rare events that stand out among all other air accidents, therefore a title that refer to the event as such would be a lot more meaningful (see for example 2002 Überlingen mid-air collision, 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision and others). WP:AATF allows for deviations from the standard format, if more common names exist, and the article itself (including many sources) explicitly mentions 'Senegal' and 'collision', when referring to the accident. -- Deeday-UK (talk) 15:35, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Also, in the collision in question, Ceiba Flight 71 is the one the made it safely to the ground. It was the other aircraft (without a flight number) that crashed with the loss of all on board; another reason why the current title is inadequate. --Deeday-UK (talk) 15:27, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
- Dont have a problem with the change as you say it reflects that more than one aircraft was involved. MilborneOne (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Did the crew of the CEIBA know what happened?
editIt's not clear to me from the current version of the article if the crew of the CEIBA knew they had a mid air collision with another aircraft. Or if they didn't what they believed had happened. My original thought was clearly they didn't know since I assumed standard practice even when everything is currently operating normally after such an event is to proceed to the nearest airport you can safely land, since you never know what may have broken and what may further deteriorate in flight, I mean part of their winglet was missing. I assume they only heard a noise and maybe observed the "brief oscillation and an uncommanded yaw" but otherwise had no clue what had happened (perhaps thinking it was a bird strike or something) as everything seemed okay and so decided it was important but not urgent so proceeded to their base rather than the nearest airport they could land at or their origin destination (if they felt there was nothing to worry about at all). But maybe I'm wrong. It would be helpful if this could be clarified in the article, and also especially if they did know, if there was any controversy over their decision. (Just because it was fine doesn't mean it was a good idea.) Nil Einne (talk) 17:35, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Incorrect information
editThe information on this page seems to be incorrect. For example, in the info box, it says Total fatalities 224, but in the Accident section, it says [...] where it landed without further incident., and The 737-800 was repaired and returned to service with CEIBA Intercontinental. In January 2019, the aircraft was re-registered to Ethiopian registration as ET-AWR. in Aftermath. --184.22.13.181 (talk) 07:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
