It’s a shame as I really want to support the airport but I feel it has lost its way a little in recent months. Maybe I was just unlucky with the Flybe crew but Kelvin was obviously having a bad day and there were only 43 of us onboard !

That could suggest that there may not be many new routes announced for 2020 and they might be cautious because of Flybe.All very positive.
I notice that the chairman speaks of 2018 as a 'transformational year' whilst suggesting that 2019 will be one of consolidation. In terms of passenger numbers, 2019 is likely to add more than 2018 did over 2017.
They might as well want to be cautious if a poster on Prunne is correct in saying Virgin will just asset strip Flybe and wind it down. So i guess it's a case of wait and see what happens with them.All very positive.

Looking beyond and into 2020 I'd be surprised if there was any growth from TUI and Thomas Cook. I'd have thought that any hope for growth would come from Ryanair.
I'm sure they are trying to engage TCX for long haul but they do seem to be focused mainly on MAN to the point where they cut STN to continue their growth there. It would be nice though to see Orlando back.Might be looking towards Thomas Cook for one or two transatlantic like
Orlando or Cancun. Other than that Ryanair or another low cost carrier have to be the key.
That is a pretty good price! Yep BE is concerning, let's hope things get sorted out and are positive for Cardiff!The BE situ troubles me as it all seems so murky and messy....I am 50/50 at best they will come through. On another note I got an additional flight CWLHKG for £508 today (via QR) which I thought was a great price !
Having had a look at the graphic of CWL update presented to members of the Welsh Assembly, I notice they do not give any figures for cargo, other than new cargo service launched. I wonder if KLM have seen the prospect carrying cargo via Amsterdam, hence the use of a 737 for a short trial period. I note also that the cargo load for the period of time Qatar has operated from CWL was not divulged. CWL has stated its intention of expanding cargo services where possible in the future. Just a thought.
Any cargo loaded onto a 737 would have to loaded by hand, i've seen them doing it with Alaska Airlines 737s in the US but not sure if KLM does it. I am told that sometimes TUI does bring in fruit from Gran Canaria.Not to sure about that one. The 737 can’t take palates like an A320 can so it’s not much use at carrying cargo.

Click on this link to CAA stats and choose a monthNot to sure about that one. The 737 can’t take palates like an A320 can so it’s not much use at carrying cargo.
Members of the Welsh Affairs committee will visit Cardiff Airport today to hear the case for devolving Air Passenger Duty.
