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.

Interesting comment from the president of Emirates here post here in the LBA forum.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.”
Emirates chief hints at growing ‘resilient’ UK operation and lowering fares
Sir Tim Clark told the Airlines 2023 conference in London the UK market has been ‘resilient to the fare levels’ the Gulf carrier currently has in place, adding: ‘I’m not saying they are going to last for ever’www.ttgmedia.com

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

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.

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.

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.
