Air Wales drop Amsterdam

So much for expanding their European cities operation. They havn’t got any left!

Plymouth-Cardiff-Newcastle has been around a while now, as has CWL-DUB and Plymouth-ORK/DUB

They do seem to chop and change their routes like no ones business don’t they!

I know it wouldn’t give me much confidence in booking something incase they’d ditched it by the time it came for me to travel. Still, and before anyone raises the subject, I know they can’t operate non-profitable routes but it does make you wonder how good their route analysis is before they start them!

airbusbaby – its PIK

Perhaps if they had a decent schedule (at least 2 flight a day Mon to Fri and a Sunday flight) to BRU it would have worked,(same for LCY) . Amsterdam never really had a chance on its schedule and competing with KLM wouldn’t have worked

Lets hope the new CWL-LPL-ABZ route works for them

Air Wales do CWL-BFS for Bmi Baby now

I know, but they do more than just CWL-BFS. They do CWL-ORK and CWL-GLA/PIK (can’t remember which) at last count. They don’t always do all flights to each destination, some routes appear to have a WW aircraft operate them at certain times of the day. Very confusing set-up!

Seems like Air Wales’ plan is to replicate that Dan Air idea in the 70’s of having flights from one end of the UK to the other with various intermittent stops (I can’t remember what it was called – City Link or something?) with their Aberdeen-Liverpool-Cardiff-Plymouth flights.

Have you noticed that some of the flights they used to codeshare/operate for bmibaby are now bmibaby flight numbers only? They seem to be in the series WW8XXX and have no Air Wales 6G flight number accompanying them now.

Are they turning more into a charter airline maybe?
