Hi, I'll be taking this review for the WikiCup and the ongoing backlog drive; please consider participating in the latter especially. Comments to follow shortly. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:47, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AirshipJungleman29, Thanks for taking this up. I will address the comments as they come. Also, a note beforehand. This is my first GA nomination of an airport article, so do let me know if there are specific comments to be handled. Being an article related to an airport, there has been regular changes in destinations served, and the corresponding citations, which might need updation as the nomination was done long back.

Magentic Manifestations, my first point is about the large and detailed "Airlines and destinations" section. This project-wide RfC at the Village Pump concluded that such tables should only be included when such information is DUE i.e. when the information has been summarised as a group by reliable sources. I would prefer that such a section was sourced to one reliable source, which listed all the destinations, rather than over 100 news articles. Is that possible? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

General comments

I have thoroughly copyedited the article, you might want to go back and check my changes
Article is mostly stable, and has images. Some of these are however out of date, most notably the aerial photo of the airport, which is confusing since it contradicts the descriptions in the article. It should be removed and if possible replaced with a more recent image, or a diagram showing the runway/taxiways/terminals.
Neutral and broad enough to satisfy GACR 3a and 4.
However, there is significant duplication. For instance, the "Future plans" section details expansion already completed and discussed above. An incident as impactful as the 1984 bomb blast, which required a terminal to be rebuilt, should also be mentioned in "History". I would suggest making the "Accidents and incidents" section a subsection of "History". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
