BA running an "empty" E190 from LCY, then on to DUB today ...? Would be great if they were checking out CWL for future possible routes... Direct flights to London (even LCY) seem unlikely, given the rail links, and of course we already have Ryanair going to DUB, and Aer Lingus to BHD, but we...

42 departures today, according to my estimates from FR. Five tomorrow :( Here's to more days with 42 departures. Looks like the airport can handle it.

Back on topic ... Any info about what if any charters are coming for the Italy game in March?

Behind a paywall. Still, don't expect it to be unbiased and/or tell us anything we don't already know ...

Yeah, I saw that as well. I'm too stingy to fork out a fiver each, each way to reserve a seat. The fact that there are still plenty of seats left with just over a week to go, suggests to me that we won't have any problems getting a couple of seats together if we just rock up on the day. We're...

G-TAWD back in service today going CWL-TFS

Looks like they borrowed G-TUKX from Manchester to get the passengers back to CWL

Tory politicians spouting BS as usual. I wonder if Peter Fox even bothered to look at 2025 passenger figures? Tories, Plaid and Reform just looking for an excuse to criticise Labour. Nothing to see here, just SW Argus looking for cheap headlines from lazy journalism. Where's the analysis...

I've booked to go to Paris on the February AF flights. It's tempting to start a new Air France thread, but a) these flights (including the Tour De France and any specials that AF put on) may well just come and go without AF making a longer term commitment b) AF and KLM are pretty much the same...

Yeah, my daughter and her fiancee got stuck in the chaos on Saturday. We dropped them off at 3:30 for the 5:25 flight, and came back to watch the progress of their plane PH-EXF on FR. It was sitting on the tarmac at Schiphol, waiting to take off for its Newcastle flight, and already running over...

What happened to Eastern Airways' planes? Or were they all leased?

I thought since the A320 has been in the news today, and we already have forums about Worldwide airports and Worldwide airlines, it might be worth starting a thread about aircraft. To avoid pointless mud-slinging of the Boeing vs Airbus competition, I would ask that "Boeing is rubbish" and...

Anybody seen anything official as to whether or not it's seasonal?

TBH Top of my personal wish list is a direct Turkish Airlines link to Istanbul, especially as they are gearing up to run an A350-1000 directly and non-stop to Sydney. THY have been doing well of late. https://simpleflying.com/country-strongest-airline-capacity-growth-2025/

Don't Montego Bay and Cancun count as transatlantic flights then? Just kidding, I know what you mean. BA and Continental (and probably others) tried a regular flight to JFK and EWR (Newark, NJ) respectively without success. I asked one American colleague I knew and he said he was happy to go...

IMO from YYZ, Air Transat looks to be more likely - they already go LGW, MAN and GLA, and an A330 would take advantage of CWL's slightly longer runway compared to BRS

"The smell of Maple Leaves me feeling energised", perhaps ... ?

Yeah, we get this. IMO the airport management are doing as good a job as can be expected to re-grow the airport back to where it was before the pandemic, but it's a long job. Still, passenger figures have been encouraging so far this year, largely thanks to the efforts of Tui*, and the KLM link...

Well, if it ain't over till Charlie Alpha Alpha says it's over: https://www.caa.co.uk/newsroom/news/uk-civil-aviation-authority-statement-eastern-airways/ ... it's over Big shame - it's only a month or two since I was looking at the Wikipedia entry, which details how they basically came from...
