I wonder who contacted Reach Plc (formerly Trinity Mirror) about this. They trawl social media sites in order to fill their web editions with all sorts of nonsense. Perhaps someone mentioned it on social media and one of Reach's finest was on to it in a flash.

Apparently Thomas Cook put out a press release. I know UK Aviation News did an article about it a few days ago which they posted on facebook. I did comment on that article and said it was old news and questioned the accuracy of the info as the PMI Wednesday flight was dropped when S19 went onsale for Enfidha and got a response about TCX putting out the press release and that the info was correct.
In the end it's just a click bait article that has prompted the usual CWL is crap comments on social media.

It’s a poorly written and researched artical too. No mention of them operating a longer season and using works like “Thomas Cook claim”. This claim could have been confimed by the paper by spending about 30 seconds on a calculator.

 

[Jerry]

Looks like Summer 2020 is onsale for Cardiff as well.

 

[geoff]

Summer 2020 appears to have the same amount of flights as this year, but has 3 Tenerife and 3 Dalaman.

Is it onsale on the flights website? As sometimes the holiday side will use other airlines. Also I think Dalaman is 3 weekly this year.

 

[geoff]

Yes Jerry flight have been loaded into the timetable.

 

[Jerry]

Apparently the Smartlynx A321 arrives from BRS on the 2nd of April at 11.45am

 

[Sean123]

Do we know if it has a tcx livery or just a neutral white tail?

 

[Jerry]

I don't know but i'd imagine that like last year it'll be in a TCX livery.

 

[mathers_wales_uk]

If it’s at Bristol now isn’t it flying for TCX? If so then imagine be similar livery to last year.

 

[Jerry]

So i decided to have a look at what Thomas Cook will be offering from Cardiff for Summer 2020.
Larnaca 1 weekly (starts in April)
Zante 2 weekly
Palma de Mallorca 2 weekly (starts in April)
Tenerife 2 weekly (3 weekly in April)
Antalya 1 weekly (2 weekly in April)
Dalaman 3 weekly (starts in April)
Reus 1 weekly
Enfidha 1 weekly (starts in April)
So at the moment for April there will be 12 weekly flights and from May there will be 13 weekly flights. At the moment it looks like Rhodes will be dropped as that is 1 weekly this year.

Look like Cardiff will get an actual Thomas Cook A321 initially. Guess it will change come May?

 

[Jerry]

According to SWAG it looks Cardiff will be getting a TCX aircraft at least temporarily to start off their programme. G-TCDH arriving from BRS at 12.45.

Would be nice if it was for the whole season but it probably is temporary.

 

[Jerry]

Looks like SWAG was wrong YL-LCX coming over from BRS.
