i cant fathom why nobody has not picked up Jersey
I can only guess that because the only real option Blue Islands operates to Bristol and thinks that's sufficient. It definitely would be nice to see it return.
 
Posted on another forum that it doesn't appear CWL are on the attendee list for Routes Worldwide in Turkey this month. Very disappointing if that is the case.
 
Yes that is disappointing, i wonder why they decided not to attend?

As it's in Turkey is it a missed opportunity to pitch to airlines like Correndon and Sun Express for flights and even if there's not a stand hopefully there will be a delegation engaging with people at the event.

Well I think this article all but rules out Emirates coming to Leeds/Bradford anytime soon according to the airline's president Sir Tim Clark.

However, he said the lack of government support for the regions meant some airports, like Cardiff and Leeds Bradford, “are struggling”. “There was a seismic shift in de-industrialisation with the Thatcher era, and things did not get plugged in to replace.”


Interesting comment from the president of Emirates here post here in the LBA forum.

Just wondering if the specific mentioning of Cardiff could indicate engagement between the airline and the airport. It's interesting that he was specific with 2 airports.
 
Would be nice to think they may consider resuming the Cardiff to Barcelona route
 
Considering how seamless transfers are at BCN with Vueling, CWL would benefit with access to the hub.
 
Would be great to see Barcelona back as a destination and as well with it being a hub for them that adds inward and onwards connectivity. Can only hope Cardiff is on their radar.
 
Well for what it's worth BC (before COVID) Ryanair and Vueling tried this route and both were dropped. From what I recall they were popular so I can't remember why they didn't continue with them. Anyone shed light on this?

Well the route was going well until Vueling changed the times, it was 5 weekly with them. Ryanair took it over but Covid killed it.

There was an article last year about building relations between wales and Catalonia. It gives me some confidence that we might see something soon. But given the rough news recently I’m not counting on it.
 
Routes which wld be great:

All Year
Paris CDG, Toulouse or Bordeaux
Barcelona
Rome, Verona or Venice

Winter
Turin
Grenoble
Geneva

Dreams, eh!
 
At the moment it does seem like the only hope of growth is too come on the holiday side from Ryanair and TUI. I'd settle for Palma de Mallorca for Summer 2025 at the moment!

The Catalonians were protesting frequently about the volume of tourists visiting Barcelona. Since then a lot of UK airports have seen a reduction in flights there. I'm not too sure if that is due the the influence of these protests or other factors.
 
I saw this on Facebook too. I guess we'll just have to watch this space to see if anything comes from this Facebook post

Someone mentioned elsewhere that the airport management were spotted going to Dublin not so long ago. It's a case of fingers crossed for good news!
 
Perhaps they will visit again when the six nations takes place in 3 weeks, and hopefully come back with some good news.

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.

Thanks for the support @SNOWMAN
Well over 4 million steps taken this year already. And about 12,500 photos.
The joys of travel. Train from Edinburgh to Leeds is cancelled so having another night in Edinburgh and heading back in the morning!
Tbf Edinburgh isn't a bad city to be stuck in.
