    Cardiff Airport - General Thread

    Financials dont always make sense to me. The £234k profit after tax, is that simple profit? Or is there more to it when you delve into the numbers and look at all the loans, investment etc? Is this the first time in several years CWL has been profitable?

    Runway Extension Plans

    If it will become a safety risk in the future, why is it not a safety risk now? If it's not a safety risk now, then the whole reason for any changes is to expand the number or types of flights, to gain more passengers, which is therefore a business decision, not a safety decision. Sorry...

    Potential Routes

    Bearing in mind AF and KL are the same company, if there's no confidence from KL in restoring the overnight aircraft and morning departure to AMS, I can't see there being much confidence from AF in launching a whole new route. A single daily flight from AF would struggle to attract any...

    Vueling

    It baffles me how Vueling manage their scheduling. They've missed out on months worth of bookings by releasing so late. The saving grace may be the timings are pretty good and even their late release Malaga flights last year still appeared to do OK. I wouldn't be surprised if the Jun-Sept...

    Potential Routes

    If KL cant even manage 3 daily flights anymore theres little chance AF will ever been seen at CWL. They are the same company so will have data about where people are travelling. I think realistically Paris and Edinburgh need to be forgotten about for a while and other routes focused on.

    WestJet

    Its definitely a niche route so will likely be more expensive. Airlines work on dynamic pricing so if seats aren't selling prices will likely come down. Personally if I was using i would be comparing the options. Fly from London Drive down in the morning, potentially navigate rush hour on the...

    WestJet

    No doubt some big involvement from WG or Visit Wales. About time they started promoting Wales better. Whats needed now is a seamless link from CWL to Cardiff Centre. Not sure that passenger numbers are sufficient for a regular bus service but I wonder if something to meet the timings of this...

    Its 2025, unless you have air tight deals happening, something will get out. Theres been plenty of hints and speculation over the past few weeks, but when the involved Airline shows it, it cant be that well kept a secret. In an ideal world an Airport will make their big grand announcement before...

    Is it a leak when Westjet have put the information out there themselves? Have CWL really tried to keep it a secret? They just haven't announced it and are probably just going through the processes awaiting it to go on sale.

    I dont imagine for one minute that CWL have solely been concentrating just on a LH route. They've likely been banging on any airline door that will listen. They've got to take what will work with them.

    Potential Routes

    I think the YYZ schedules started as a 767, then one 757 direct and one 767 LGW-CWL-YYZ, and eventually becoming 2x 757 CWL-YYZ only and a 767 CWL-BFS-YVR. Passenger numbers under Zoom: 2005 - Toronto - 10414 2006 - Toronto - 13954 - Vancouver - 4285 2007 - Toronto - 9318 -...

    Some very good points and I often use BRS as a benchmark for routes. If its not served from there, there's likely a reason. That being said the point about no other options to Canada from the Southwest or Midlands can only work in CWLs favour if people want to avoid London. Similarly with no...

    Mounties, Beavers. Anymore clues?

    Potential Routes

    I think you've run away with this. Many members are from the industry or know people in the industry. My comment was from someone at BRS that is aware Jet2 want to expand but currently can't. They aren't top management but that information has been freely told to all staff. With them being...

    Can it be leaks if it's in the public domain with flights on sale? Most "leaks" happen because people search and find it online, so it's already in the public domain. You could say the Airline leaked it by putting the flights on sale. Looking back through these forums, the Wizz news was...

    Indeed we do..... That certainly hasn't been the case on this forum, so hopefully that doesn't change. Anyway, back on topic.

    Potential Routes

    Isn't this, and every other forum, purely speculation? Its what these forums are built on, and why people enjoy them. When they're allowed to.... No, its merely pointing out that if VY dont return, there's slack to be picked up. Any new base would've been in discussion for years, not a knee...

    Contacts at BRS. Obviously there would be more routes than just those 3, but they are high demand routes that without VY would need capacity. TUIs growth at CWL will raise interest about shifting capacity in the Southwest. Jet2 have also had a few years to review where their passengers are...

    Potential Routes

    O'leary screams about a lot of things, but FR in the UK is a huge market for them that hasn't shrunk because of APD. I wouldnt discount Jet2 just yet. They want to grow at BRS but can't due to space. TUI expansion at CWL may have peaked their interest. If VY dont return, Jet2 could pick up...
