International or domestic? edit

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The text of this article describes this as a domestic airport, and the list of flights seems to corroborate that, but a few sources and the navbox at the bottom (as well as List of airports in India) list it as an international airport. Does anyone have more context here? LittlePuppers (talk) 03:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is an International Airport and was declared as such in 2017. Kindly refer to https://www.deccanherald.com/india/shirdi-gets-international-airport-2027475 . The frontage at the airport clearly spells out Shirdi International Airport as can be seen here : https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.hindustantimes.com%2Fimg%2F2022%2F03%2F12%2F1600x900%2F1914c012-a1fc-11ec-9dea-cf986250bae9_1647086702564.jpg&tbnid=jnGdEOpBqQ5RLM&vet=12ahUKEwih7Nb5luCDAxWQYmwGHQPkBbkQMygGegQIARBY..i&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hindustantimes.com%2Fcities%2Fpune-news%2Frs150-crore-allocated-to-shirdi-airport-in-maha-budget-101647086708299.html&docid=BSH0MeX4vaioQM&w=1600&h=900&q=shirdi%20airport%20images%20in%20wikimedia&ved=2ahUKEwih7Nb5luCDAxWQYmwGHQPkBbkQMygGegQIARBY . Granted there are no international flights but the airport is designated as International which means it is capable of handling flights to/from international destinations with facilities for Customs etc., pretty much like the airports in Port Blair, Ayodhya etc., which are international airports but with no flights to/from international destinations at the moment. 59.92.246.88 (talk) 20:14, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Shirdi Airport → Shirdi International Airport – It is an International Airport and was declared as such in 2017. Kindly refer to https://www.deccanherald.com/india/shirdi-gets-international-airport-2027475 . The frontage at the airport clearly spells out Shirdi International Airport as can be seen here : Google Images. 59.92.246.88 (talk) 21:01, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: The current title appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME based on a search of Google News. This may have something to do with the observation in the section above that this airport has no international flights. SilverLocust 💬 01:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
