GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
I'll do a huge copy edit to tweak some of the wording, since a first read through is fine. I believe I can do them because they are extremely minor stylistic/grammatical issues.

Tweak of infobox & lead (please fact-check the infobox-I got the info from the prose)

Fixes to "service" section

Finish copyedit
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Checklinks clean. After reading, I could only find a claim to Color being the first low-cost airline once; the first sentence in the lead. I might have overlooked it, but it should be mentioned in the "Establishment" section as well, with a ref. Otherwise, suitably referenced.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Great
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
OK
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
OK
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
I like the images :). The only problem is that File:Color Air Logo.png does not contain non-free use rationale, which can be found at WP:FUG.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Additional comments

An enjoyable read. Placing on hold for the two issues (regarding logo and claim to be first low cost Norwegian airline) to be addressed. Airplaneman ✈ 20:20, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, and not least the extra effort of copyediting; some times articles just don't end up all that well written. The logo has been rationalized [sic]. Imagine—we could get away with those types of fair use rationales a few years ago. I've also found an existing source which claims the article to be the first low-cost carrier, so I added a sentence there. Arsenikk ^(talk) 09:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright; looks good, will pass! Airplaneman ✈ 21:35, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
