Not good news at all but every time I drive past Port Talbot, I always think it would be the perfect location for an airport. Huge site, flat and excellent road and rail links.

Saw this picture someone had shared on facebook. Looks like its just before security where the Dragon was?

I know its been mentioned on here before in regard to the page on facebook called Cardiff Airport Flights and deals but thought it was worth mentioning they have reached 18,000 followers today and its rising fast. They have had to reiterate that its run purely as a hobby and are in no way...

Yep the flight schedule page, although I did miss it in the destinations page because I got bored of scrolling through all the non direct destinations. Anyway thats enough of my negativity, a new website is good to see and was long overdue, im sure any niggles will be ironed out.

Still no Eastern Airways and Paris on their destination list.

Good news! Wonder how long it will take them to add it to the destination list on the airport website. 😏

Another positive article 😔 BBC News - Wizz Air: Cardiff Airport in wrong place, says ex-airline boss https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64274221

Belfast is back then.... Aer Lingus franchise carrier Emerald Airlines is launching a five-times weekly 🛫 ☘️ 🛬 service from Belfast City Airport to Cardiff Airport beginning on 7 July. Flights, which depart Cardiff on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, are now available to book...

That page on facebook is great and credit to who ever set it up, they have done more to promote routes and prices than the airport ever has. They often show screen shots of price comparisons with Bristol for the same dates and destination with Cardiff the cheaper option and its getting noticed.

I travelled to Dubrovnik and back with Tui in the last week or so. Duty free was unavailable on both flights and overheard the air hostess saying that they were not getting any sent to the airport but didn't hear the reason why but it was frustrating for them because they couldnt earn commission...

Not great for Wizz today, this morning's Palma flight has been cancelled, apparently due to crew shortage.
