I have undone the addition of PLAY to this page twice in two days. Before this devolves into an edit war, please consider that many proposed airlines never become operational. Adding them could swamp this template and others like it with information of dubious usefulness. I will readily concede that PLAY appears to be run by competent people and has meaningful financial backing, and seems likely to become operational, but it's still hard to draw the line between a company such as PLAY and other, less solid proposals. The easiest place to draw the line is whether or not the company has aircraft in revenue operation.

I have now reached the three revert threshold. Let's discuss this issue before it escalates further.

I see your point but it seems a little harsh to require aurcraft in revenue service. Perhaps this could be modified to 'has aircraft or tickets for scheduled flights are on sale' ? Otherwise we end up preventing genuine airlines which end up succeeding from being mentioned. Most of the paper airlines which close before a flight is operated never get round to spending the money to actually gain use of a passenger aircraft and never put tickets on sale. A well run airline will typically put tickets on sale months before a flight operates. Play have met neither of these objectives yet, but when they do, they should be mentioned here.Pmbma (talk) 18:28, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-11-07T18:28:00.000Z","author":"Pmbma","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Pmbma-2019-11-07T18:28:00.000Z-Carguychris-2019-11-07T15:44:00.000Z","replies":["c-Carguychris-2019-11-07T19:12:00.000Z-Pmbma-2019-11-07T18:28:00.000Z"]}}-->

I would agree to including PLAY once they have aircraft, they are selling tickets, and there is a definite (and feasible) flight schedule. My objection is to needlessly clogging these templates with companies that haven't and may never actually operate flights.
