bmibaby use Welsh

Until BA announce direct international flights from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland I don’t think they should be called the UK’s national carrier instead they should be called English Airways

To be fair there is a direct EDI-CDG flight 😉

Hehe thats true!!! 😀

There’d be no room for them………….. 😮

Not in Cardiff on a Friday night, at any road. 😉

Oh yes there are plenty, pity they don;t all come back eh!;)

Oh, I know that Welsh is spoken in Patagonia etc.

But I had no idea there were that many overseas Welsh speakers.

We live and learn, eh?

Around the world YES!

Millions speaking Welsh???? :rolleyes:

Theres is about 800,000 who can speak it OK-ish, but around the world there are millions! eg Patagonia and Oz especially!

Big Vince, the majority of people who are from this part of the world speak English over any other language. How many speak Welsh? Why not make the CC learn German for all the flights to Germany? Whats the point, most others speak English, why should we change when there is no problem.

I wouldn’t consider BA to be our flag carrier. OK, we’re a principality not a nation, but we’ve got an international airport and they don’t operate from it, meaning they can’t be our flag carrier.We’ve got our own flag, so our flag carrier should be AirWales.

Hwyl am rwan.

Sut oeddet ti yn gwybod hynny?!?!
(How did u know that) :diablo:

Hehe yep i call them the same ere Grey, London Airways they are!
And don’t start the “principality” urgh i hate that word thingy, but i know wot u mean!
And i think VS regard them self’s as the UK’s flag carrier, but bmi have the flag on the fin aswell!

Until BA announce direct international flights from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland I don’t think they should be called the UK’s national carrier instead they should be called English Airways

Or “London Airways”, as we tend to call them in these parts – remember that they only have one long-haul route (MAN-JFK-MAN) from a UK region. 😀

At risk of setting the cat among the pigeons, Wales isn’t a nation – it’s a principality. The flag of that principality is a red dragon on a green and white field.

Neither England, Scotland nor (parts of) Northern Ireland are nations, so no smirking at the back, there!

The national flag of Wales, like that of England, Scotland and (parts of) Northern Ireland, is the Union Flag.

Therefore, BA is the flag-carrier. Or Virgin, or bmi or whoever……..

Hwyl am rwan.

I doubt it if half of Welsh people speak Welsh

As Mark say, most us who speak Welsh live oop north like i do, but the percentage of Welsh users is on the rise, and nearly half the language can speak it, over half say say some words but thats better than none, and yes danairboy, i agree with u there, that only Air Wales should be our flag carrier

Drop the flag BMIBaby, you are not the national carrier for wales. Only an airline like AirWales or previous Airways Cymru should display the Welsh flag/dragon.

I’ve seen a Welsh flag one at EMA last year.Though the 2 are based at CWL they spend most of the time at EMA
