It won't be cheap, and certainly not needed (yet!). It would come in very handy for special events, but wouldn't make a return just for that. If I remember rightly, TLY, did you comment on how much the new stand cost at BRS?
I think when the masterplan comes out, it would be similar in design to the previous, where another West pier would be built with stands facing north/south rather than east/west on the current 6pack. That would likely mean having to use the grassed area between Echo taxiway and the terminal.

I don't know how much the new stands at Bristol cost to build. A couple of years ago they created three stands at the western end of the apron but had to excavate a small hill to do so, therefore the cost would probably have been above the norm. Last winter they built another new stand just to the east of the terminal which might have been more in line with a 'typical' stand cost (if there is such a thing) but again I can't find any indication of cost.

Apologies. I thought you had quoted a rough cost here some time ago. Must be been somewhere else I'd read it

Today's Barcelona flight will be operated by an A321 EC-MJR according to FR24. A nice change!

I see the vueling tech aircraft from Wednesday EC LRY is going into BAMC for repairs.
Funny I asked the question the other week as who repaired vueling tech aircraft in CWL.Vueling normally send over engineers to do repairs if job is not too big.
All I can say with this tech aircraft it must be a big or heavy job for BAMC doing repairs.

I believe Vueling have flown in engineers to do the work, so whatever they have to do may well require the use of certain equipment that BAMC have.

If certain panels are to be removed exposing sensitive equipment Airbus will dictate that the work is done inside.

Vueling used to use BCT so may now use Storm. They can do basic line engineering only.

Vueling in past have used British Airways engineers from Heathrow.

The aircraft itself is only Slightly nose in on the middle bay of BAMC which Is probably being used to shelter a sensitive part from the rate Cardiff sun.

I'm unsure if it's related but a Metroliner was parked next to the Vueling when I came into the office this morning and is still there.

Sometimes specialist jobs needs a specialist dedicate which may have been brought to Cardiff but not necessarily.

As I type it's just being pulled out of the hangar.

This morning i had a twitter conversation with someone about Vuelings reliability at CWL as the last 2 days has seen the Alicante flight delayed by 2 hours and the poster was adamant that this was happening all the time so it prompted me to have a look. I used FR24 to look at how many flights were delayed by over an hour and by over 30 minutes on each route arrival and departing.
Alicante
Since 28th April there have been 65 arrival flights, 51 have been either ontime or under 30 mins delayed, 5 have been delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 6 have been delayed more than an hour.
There has also been 65 departing flights, 47 have been either ontime or under 30 mins delayed, 7 have been delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 9 have been delayed more than a hour.
Barcelona
Since 28th April there have been 38 arrival flights, 28 have been either ontime or under 30 mins, 4 have been delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 6 have been delayed more than an hour.
There has also been 38 departing flights, 23 have been either on time or under 30 mins delayed, 4 have been delayed by more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 11 have been delayed by more than an hour.
Malaga
Since 28th April there have been 64 arrival flights, 56 have been either ontime or under 30 mins, 3 have been delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 4 have been delayed more than an hour.
There has also been 64 departing flights, 57 have been either on time or under 30 mins delayed, 3 have been delayed by more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 5 have been delayed by more than an hour.
Palma de Mallorca
Since 28th April there have been 51 arrival flights, 47 have been either ontime or under 30 mins, 0 have been delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 5 have been delayed more than an hour.
There has also been 51 departing flights, 47 have been either on time or under 30 mins delayed, 1 has been delayed by more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 4 have been delayed by more than an hour.

In summary since 28th April Vueling have operated a total of 436 flights into and out of Cardiff with 356 either ontime or under 30 minutes, 27 delayed more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 50 delayed more than an hour.
Perecentage wise 81.65% are ontime or under 30 minutes delayed, 6.1% have been delayed by more than 30 minutes but under an hour and 11.4% have been delayed by more than an hour.

How did you manage to sort all them numbers out with this heat. Lets hope the guy you were talking to reads what you have done.
In this heat a job well done.

I have sent the info to the person but i doubt he'll believe it somehow from the previous tweets i exchanged with him.

 

[Jerry]

Today's Alicante was 10 minutes early.

Was this person a Mr Sedgebeer? I know he was vocal on the subject but can't remember if it was on facebook or twitter. If so then I think he was unlucky as flight was delayed both outbound and on the return.
