Name of the airport[edit]

(Copied from my talk page)

After looking at http://www.yxt.ca/ should it not be at Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat or Northwest Regional Airport, Terrace-Kitimat rather than Northwest Regional Airport (Terrace - Kitimat). I noticed that the official site mainly uses Northwest Regional Airport but that's a disambiguation and Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat seems to be the second most used. Cheers.

According to Transport Canada, its official name is "Northwest Regional Airport". As there is an airport in the US with the same name that name could not be used for the article (see the disambig page Northwest Regional Airport). There are a couple reasons to go with the city names in parentheses. One, it makes it clearer that the city names are not part of the airport's name, unlike some of the other alternatives. Second, it follows the same format as the other airport with this name, which provides consistency in naming the articles.Agent 86 (talk) 19:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realise that (Terrace - Kitimat) was being used as a disambiguation. So to bring it in line with other airports, Woodstock Airport or Bathurst Airport for example, I moved it but Northwest Regional Airport (Canada) would work as well.

Sure, that works, plus it fits the use of the state, rather than the city, in the name of the other NW airport article.Agent 86 (talk) 03:02, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
