Cardiff Airport shares update on 2025 destinations
 
Another ONEAIR 747 due in at 10.47 this morning from Budapest, the one at present on the ground at CWL also came in from Budapest. What's the attraction at CWL at the moment? is it cheaper parking fees. Still the more movements the better, all are welcome from a financial point of view.

Isn't this engine maintenance?
 
I don't know Jerry, it could well be. They could be serviced by GE at Treforest, or Airfin in Caerphilly County, it would certainly make more sense if that was the reason.

Is Edinburgh being kept at 4 a week for the whole of the summer? Their CEO was talking a few weeks ago of, potential of Loganair routes from CWL.

It's 5 weekly April, May, September and October. 4 weekly June, July and most of August.
The amount of flights don't exactly go with the rhetoric.

Neither do the load factors when he was bigging up the success of Loganair at Cardiff!
 
The departure boards for today (Wednesday) are absolutely dire. A 10:20 KLM to Amsterdam. A 12:00 Aer Lingus to Belfast and a 17:25 KLM to Amsterdam.
With 5 trains a day, Sugar Loaf train station has more available seats leaving it. Even if you include the, by all accounts, empty cargo flight leaving for urumqi.... Let's be real, there's no financially viable way to operate a 24 hr airport with a revenue stream like that.
What a difference 6 years makes from the Flybe / QR days.

It should be slightly improved next week when TUI kick off their Paphos flight. but I agree, it’s certainly not great. It’s a similar situation at Exeter and Bournemouth where the Wednesday schedule is greatly reduced compared to other days of the week.

It will pick up for the summer but if the airlines aren't willing to operate the flights on that day and in general what can the airport do? Loganair being an example. It can't force them and the government is adamant that Wales must have a functioning airport.

Wednesday in Winter has been like that for years. It comes from most flights being non-based where airlines can operate just on the busier days where there's more demand.
If there was a based scheduled airline then they'd have to operate Wednesday flights rather than having an aircraft sat around all day.

Have to question the success of any of these goals. Especially connectivity. Screenshot_20250223_222443_Chrome.jpg

When I read the article in Nation Cymru, it was the type of article written by an academic rather than someone from the aviation industry. He pointed out mistakes made by the Welsh Government, and quotes from various politicians over the last few years, but nothing about potential routes or airlines.

And then mentioned other much bigger airports without actually saying why they are.

And the long awaited return of VY AGP, which thankfully they’ve put on a Wednesday to help with “bulk” out the boards :X3:

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
