It is a shame they are stopping after 6 years but the silver lining is that Ryanair are taking it over.
Id much prefer Vueling to Ryanair. Ive flown with both and i can say Vueling was better. (Apart from my scratched window, LOL)

VY schedules for W19 Nov/Dec are out; although worrying for CWL - no sign of ALC and AGP!
I wonder if these routes have been dropped for winter ops and will be summer only? Not good if true
If, and it's a big if, Vueling has decided to cease operating to ALC and AGP next winter could there be a danger that if, another if, Ryanair did fill the void and continued into summer 20, Vueling might pull out entirely?I don't know why but i wouldn't be surprised if they did drop them. Hopefully they won't but if they did then maybe the airport could get Ryanair to takeover those routes.
That is the danger yes that Vueling would be pushed out but if Vueling are deciding to cut CWL anyway or reduce in the future then Ryanair could compensate for any lost frequencies and possibly add more.I know that Vueling has gradually built itself a good name amongst the CWL travelling public but Ryanair's reputation for piling 'em high and selling cheap (relatively so anyway) invariably means it will scoop up punters in larger numbers than many other airlines. The danger must surely be that they would take too many of Vueling's. Or is there really enough on these routes for both airlines to be satisfied right through the entire summer timetable period?
Are Vueling winter routes usually all announced in one go or could the CWL winter routes be amongst a second batch?
Many thanks. Fingers crossed.Generally all routes are released straight off, not in batches as some other airlines have done. It could be the case that in airline speak that these routes are ‘under review’ which did happen with PMI years back - so there is a chance they will be released, and it is early days yet in terms of it being so long away!
That is good news! They don't seem to be scared away by Ryanair operating on malaga.Although not bookable as of yet, it appears that VY are starting to load their winter flights from CWL! ALC at 3x weekly (Tue,Thu and Sat) and AGP 2x weekly (Tue and Sat)
With Malaga i think it depends on the effect of Ryanair and with Alicante my guess is they might have the same concern that Ryanair might do the same as they did with Malaga and add Alicante June to September. Vueling have been slowly increasing those routes but i would be surprised if they went daily next year. With Mallorca hopefully they might add another flight on the weekend eventually if Ryanair doesn't beat them to it.With Flybe being such a big player at the airport this Summer, and that will soon become a much lighter presence come Winter goes to show how much the airport needs many airlines with firm offerings across the year. The airport needs VY to ramp up ops Summer 2020. ALC and AGP should've grown to daily two years ago if you look at when VY first arrived at CWL and then grew. When you have many airlines offering a comprehensive schedule then the whole Flybe sale and now operational draw backs would be felt a lot less.
