Yes, they pulled out of SWS at the start of November, thank god!!! They were stupid to start a base their; Bad access, no facilities and no passengers. They made losses there from the start. hopefully we should see more expansion at CWL, and i wish they’d get some better jet aircraft.
btw- confirmed, bmibaby starting twice weekly service to Faro, increasing frequencies to Belfast & Paris to twice daily and adding extra flight to Palma bringing total to 5 a week from CWL.

Great news for Air Wales, had doubts over them a few years back when they dropped a few routes.
I heard somewhere that they are stopping all flights going in and out of Swansea, is that true?
I also heard that everywhere you fly to from Swansea, you go via Cardiff, is that true as well?
I don’t know Wales as well! 🙂
