It is Easter week though.

It's all well and good having loads of connections, if you have the people to use them. KLM have struggled to get back up to pre-2019 capacity which speaks volumes. QR has to succeed if/when they return. I would be concerned about diluting the market too much having another connection option to...

Dalaman and Antalya will probably move to a non based airline.

My thoughts exactly. They don't have a base at either CDG or ORY, but they do operate routes to them from other bases that are relatively short routes that could mean crews could do double sectors. The A319 would be a better fit capacity wise too. Looking at their schedules there a Saturday...

You get what you pay for. Jet2 Passenger handling seems to have more than enough customer service/check-in staff when self handled. If they paid ground handlers for a certain amount of baggage/loading staff then the ground handler is obliged to provide those levels of staffing. Swissport (As...

Weren't they just for the rugby?

That is good news! What does that mean for stands and parking? Is there any space available for extra overnight parking or will they be targeting more out if base daytime flights?

Some BFS flights are operated from other bases (EDI, MAN and 1 of the 2 daily STN flights). And they also show Air explore. Various other inter UK routes from EDI and STN also showing Air Explore. Something going on with FR's UK AOC?

Cargo specific flights are difficult. Its much much easier for Cargo Airlines to centralise their Airports and have cargo transported in by road/rail from all angle of the country into one central location. Cardiff is anything but central to anywhere. Cargo being transported across the M4...

Still a 2 week gap in both services in June. Hopefully something positive going on!

It's badly worded. He's referring to catchment. Cardiff only has a catchment to the west, north and east because to the south is water, and that catchment isn't very dense. Bristol has a catchment from the North, East, South and Southwest, which also happens to be much bigger and more affluent...

A quick look at Google maps and I can count 32 stands. But GM still shows the area of the old terminal building as demolished but not replaced with stands. They may fit 2-3 more stands in that place if reconfigured. Still not enough stands though. Even the 2018 masterplan diagram only shows 34...

Can we get out of this habit of thinking Airlines leave because they get scared of a rumour? Airlines are businesses. Any Airline worth its salt has to fight. They don't leave at the whiff of competition. If anything they fight it out until they know they can't make it work. This isn't a playground.

Lets not forget that FR have added BHD and daily DUB, as well as the extended AGP and year round FAO. So I would say the CWL/FR relationship is in a good place. With 3 already established routes and BHD showing potential, there's already scope for 1 based aircraft if they brought those routes in...

I didn't say anyone had left, that was another poster. I said I didn't think they'd be fully recruited assuming like most Airlines seasonal bases that there'd be a need for some level of new recruits, which you've obviously confirmed is sorted.

That's good news. Is that the same for Pilots?

It's a very interesting point and something to keep an eye on. There'd a lot of nervousness about wizz this year and there's no way they'd already be fully recruited. Maybe they're planning on using London based crew more in case this summer isn't as successful.

With up to 6 flights a day, I would imagine a decent chunk of those are from Wales to support a few flights a week.

According to the BRS forum Easyjet are increasing BRS-GVA and BRS-Paris (CDG and ORY). GVA has between 3 and 6 DAILY flights depending on the day of the week PAR has between 3 and 5 DAILY flights depending on the day of the week. That's a huge amount of demand that needs to be tapped into. Only...

Using Tues 13th and 20th June as an example, on Loganairs website there is a morning and an evening flight. On Blue Islands website there is only a morning flight. On Loganairs website it says the evening flight is operated by Blue Islands, which isn't on sale on Blue Islands website. But the...
