I think the aircraft section should be put back, although referring to the aircraft as their registration instead of “arriving” and “departing” throughout the article is a bit verbose. TheLachstar (talk) 02:23, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I found "arriving" and "departing" very easy to follow. If you replace that with numbers it would be much harder to follow. Anthonyhcole (talk) 12:16, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. "Arriving" and "departing" is unambiguous, and certainly more easy to understand for the lay reader than registrations/serials, especially when they are similar, and both aircraft are the same model and operator. Nick Cooper (talk) 13:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
