Indeed this was the return flight. The outbound was last week or the week before.

Big airlift of French fans for the international on Friday evening, 1 flight on Wednesday, 5 on Thursday, and 19 so far on Friday, with a good variety of airlines, including Air Malta, Enter air, Trade Air, Wizz Air, should be a big help for the passenger figures for March.

Gutted I'll miss it as I'm working those days

As mentioned in the general thread YLLDL (SmartLynx), flying on behalf of EasyJet, last night positioned to CWL to “sleep” then flew back to BRS first thing in the morning - and will do so again tonight…

All seems very odd indeed.

Apparently until the 14th July, Smartlynx engineers can't get passes for Bristol yet they can for Cardiff? Not sure i understand that personally.

With the WWE “Clash at the Castle” (even though it’s not in the castle) this weekend, does anyone know if there’s likely to be any interesting ad hoc’s into CWL or will most use LHR or KLM connex?

👍

Several of WWE participants and personnel came into CWL this evening from White Plains USA, on a WWE Gulfstream. (SWAG have a photograph on their site).

One Air Boeing 747 400 G-UNET arrived from Doncaster via Prestwick earlier on and will be based at Cardiff for training for an unknown length of time.

CWL is benefiting from the unfortunate closure of DSA, is it known if the other planes used in oil dispersal based at DSA, that is Be200 and PA31, are coming to CWL also.

 

[Jerry]

Don't know about the other aircraft.

Special visitor currently at the airport.
G-POWM is a Titan Airways A320 marked up in a special Coca-Cola Fifa World Cup trophy tour livery.

From the Facebook page of South Wales Aviation Group.
"Due in to Cardiff tomorrow around 14:00 from Heathrow is JetOneX B744 TF-AMK. The aircraft is coming here for some engine maintenance by local St Athan company GJD Services …it’s being handled by our friends at #globaltrekaviation and will probably park on Echo !"

According too Global Trek Facebook page there is another 747 freighter having maintenance at Cardiff. So CWL has 2 747s on the ground.

Apparently it's delivering an engine for BAMC. Good to see such a movement!

I don't know why but there's a Turkish Airlines A321neo TC-LSA that apparently arrived from Berlin at 17.48 and departing too Edinburgh at 19.20.
