Yeh, it’s hard to believe that back in 93 was the first time CWL broke through the 1m mark, well before BRS, yet 12 years on we still haven’t got through 2m when BRS is carrying twice as many. Down to lack of investment and the fact that unfortunately, airlines have come and gone- uptakes allways been good, yet for some reason airlines have had a summer of sucess then just gone, moving on to bigger bases. Now things are starting to change though, because airlines can actually see the potential, especially now more is being invested- the rail link, plans for much improved road links, and expansion of the terminal, although really they could do with demolishing the exisiting terminal and starting from scratch, because it’s just generally dated in design with hardly any natural light.

Hopefully now Abertis (a Spanish company) have bought TBI, the owners of CWL, we’ll see scheduled links to Barcelona & Madrid, as these have long been demanded by passengers. Theres a general lack of scheduled services to European cities in general, which despite many calls by the public for more to be introduced, none have.
