The result of the move request was: Not moved — Amakuru ( talk) 21:25, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
Vijayawada Airport →
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Amaravati International Airport – recently upgraded to international status and change of name as well.

The result of the move request was: page moved. No opposition and this was listed as an acceptable alternate title by a commenter at the previosu RM. The other opposition there was to the length of the name, which would not apply here. ( non-admin closure) TonyBallioni ( talk) 15:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Vijayawada Airport → Vijayawada International Airport – Following a query by Vin09 on my talk page, I am reopening the above discussion, but with just the addition of "International", to see if there's consensus for that. I didn't see enough evidence that the WP:COMMONNAME has changed in the discussion above to make that determination. Note that I neither support nor oppose this request, I'm simply opening it to get clarity on this question. — Amakuru ( talk) 07:32, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
I'm looking at this page following a request made today&oldid= by LeoFrank. I'm not wild about granting the request without there at least being some explanation on the talk page as to why it has been move protected. (Admins are generally not directly familiar with the areas where requests end up on noticeboards like RfPP, so it can often take a bit of unpicking to find out what's going on.
Back on 24 May 2017, a requested move was made on the talk page by Amakuru. The RM was closed on 7 June 2017 by TonyBallioni. On 25 December, LeoFrank moved the page, with the following edit summary:
LeoFrank also left a message on the talk page saying the move is "irrational". Since then, any change to the page suggesting it is an international airport has been reverted, mostly by LeoFrank, mostly without explanation.
The RM contained links to at least four sources noting that it has been granted international status. Upon seeing this, I found it rather strange that the article refers to it as a domestic airport when we have sources that say it is an international airport. The mention of it being a "domestic" airport then has a footnote, to a source that says it is an international airport. What?, I thought.
I had a look at the departures and arrivals board on the Vijayawada Airport website and I'm not seeing any flights outside India, so I guess that is a fairly clear demonstration that despite the international status, it is still a domestic airport. It'd be helpful if when there are numerous editors reverting, experienced editors put a brief notice like this on the talk page explaining why the page is titled like this, especially if a Requested Move happened fairly recently and was closed by an admin. It wasn't obvious to me why the consensus of the RM had been overriden and took me a fair bit of digging through diffs and a brief web search to understand why. If it isn't fairly obvious to an admin why the page has a particular content and title, it probably won't be obvious to an unregistered/newbie editor. Noting that kind of thing on the talk page is exactly what a talk page is for.
I'd suggest to LeoFrank that reverts in the future really ought to contain an explanation as to why—feel free to point to the talk page to explain why. — Tom Morris ( talk) 17:08, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. Dekimasu よ! 16:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Vijayawada International Airport → Vijayawada Airport – This airport has been granted international status, but that does not automatically imply that word "International" gets added to the name. With respect to names of airports, newspaper articles are not reliable as they keep referring to airports with different names (eg: Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport is referred as Bangalore Airport, Bangalore International Airport, Bengaluru Airport, Bangaluru International Airport Kempegowda Airport, or Kempegowda International Airport while the latter is the official name). Also, per this discussion, if an airport article is named other than the official, the 'a' in airport, has to be lower case. The previous discussion which was closed as move, did not take into account if the airport has been officially renamed. The official website of IATA (search with Location code = VGA), lists the airport as Vijaywada Airport — LeoFrank Talk 14:42, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
LeoFrank Repatriation flights will land only in International Airports not in domestic airports if you see Kolkata Airport doesn't have London operation but now Air India is operating through VBM and that destination is included in that page Ktdk ( talk) 13:25, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
Ohnoitsjamie user LeoFrank is disagreeing with me regarding giving International Airport statement We have also Made discussion in his talk page Ktdk ( talk) 13:42, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus (non-admin closure). Jenks24 ( talk) 10:16, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Vijayawada Airport → Vijayawada International Airport – The official website of AAI mentions airports official name to be Vijayawada International Airport, and search with Location code = VGA on official website of Indigo also lists the airport as Vijayawada International Airport. The official website of IATA doesn't seem to be a reliable source as mentioned by @ LeoFrank (search with Location code = HYD), lists the airport as Metropolitan Area. The Flightradar24 shouldn't be considered as a source (as per discussion between @ Fylindfotberserk and @ LeoFrank ( talk)) as it lists LKO / VILK as Lucknow Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport rather than it's official name Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport ( AAI, CCSIA Lucknow). As of posting this topic, bi-weekly flights to Sharjah are being operated by Air India Xpress (IX 975/976), which are scheduled passenger flights rather than repatriation flights. — SMorphius ( talk) 00:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky ( talk) 15:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
