Cardiff: Rugby, Football and General Sport Flights & Charters

[Jerry]

The Ospreys are travelling out to Shannon today for their pro 12 rugby semi-final with Munster at Thomond Park in Limerick tommorrow . They are flying on an Eastern Airways E170 C-CIXV.

 

[Jerry]

I'm guessing many of the flights will have coach transport as well, as part of the packages. NAT travel operates the T9 service so they might put on some extra coaches as part of the service.
It's going to be a great weekend for the spotters with all the different aircraft coming in.

 

[CraigW92]

Certainly going to be a very busy period for the airport with possibly the best outcome in terms of the support the two teams bring with them, of course there's a host of VY, IB, IBS flights pencilled in aswell for both CWL and BRS, Will be interesting to see the full list of flights that are due in over the course of those few days which in sure will become clear very soon, however there's some movements I've noticed already scheduled that are a bit different:

1st June

YW2010 MAD 1300-14:15 CWL CRJX (CRJ1000 NG)

2nd June

AZ9520: MXP 0400- 05:00 CWL A320
MLT879 MAD 0600-07:00 CWL B733
ENT591 MAD 0600-07:00 CWL B738
ERN814 MXP 0655-08:00 CWL A319
CBX7801: MAD 1000-11:05 CWL B733
IG2060: MXP 1000-11:05 CWL B762
AZ9500: MXP 1300-14:05 CWL B772

3rd June

VBB7601: MAD 0600-07:10 CWL MD83
IG2062: MXP 0630-07:30 CWL B762
HAT4300: MXP 0710-08:15 CWL B734
KRP2616: MXP 0930-10:30 CWL F100
RZO6900: MAD 1035- 11:35 CWL A310
AZ9529: MXP 1205-13:05 CWL A320

 

[Jerry]

Be great to see so many new airlines at CWL. Be great to see so many different types of aircraft especially older ones like A310's and MD83's. Also we don't get to see CRJ's often either.

I don't think it's the sum total yet. There may be more flights to come and the times may change as well. From what i've read elsewhere everything will become concrete at the end of the week.

Being designated for Juventus has certainly given CWL a lot of variety in airlines and aircraft not usually seen at CWL the spotters will love it!

 

[bayer328]

Where is a good location for photography for all these Champions League flights ? Im driving from Manchester.

It's usually the Cambrian but they are charging for the Champions league weekend.
http://www.spotcwl.com
This site might help you as they have a guide to the best spots.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

I'd be a bit twitchy if I was on one of the last arrivals. With a 1945 kick-off time a delayed flight could make things tight.

 

[bayer328]

Seems a lot of road closures as this event is happening. The problem I face is arriving and finding nowhere to park. Maybe Bristol might be a better choice. Cheers Tom.

The snag with BRS is that many of the football flights are coming in during the early hours although there will still be more than a dozen after 0800 on the Saturday, assuming they all operate.

This is a link to the BRS Mayfly that shows all planned commercial arrivals and departures, including but not just those for the football. Click on week commencing 29 May 2017 and then scroll down to Saturday.

If you do decide on BRS this website gives a good overview of spotting locations

http://www.bristolairportspotting.co.uk

Hover the cursor over Spotters Tools then scroll down to Spotting Locations. Winters Lane South is the most popular. It's a country lane (BRS is sited in a completely rural location) with a lengthy puli-in right outside the airport boundary fence. The problem is that the fence is mesh and not good for photography unless you bring a portable ladder to see over the top.

The background though is quite spectacular as the airport sits 600 feet above the Severn estuary a few miles to the west. On clear days you can see the Welsh coast and beyond, including the Brecon Beacons and the city of Cardiff itself from that location.

Whichever side of the Severn you plump for I hope the weather is kind and that you have an enjoyable day.

 

[Rob c DSA]

Looking at the flights I would say that accounts for 12'000 Juve fans some will go through other airports so suspect what is down now is about it. Unsure what to do to be honest looking Bristol looks pretty pointless surely it is going to be rammed down Cardiff and not knowing where to go for the best doesn't help I would be heading down from near Sheffield but with some flights travelling up to BHX to park it may be a better option.

 

[bayer328]

Ive heard 2 B747 are going into Birmingham, on Saturday showing VM 001 -003 is that Wamos?

 

[Elmdon80slad]

Ive heard 2 B747 are going into Birmingham, on Saturday showing VM 001 -003 is that Wamos?

Just looked it up and VM comes up with Max Air - they have 4 747's - 2 x 743's and 2 x 744's.
