If I’m honest I think WOW will probably shut bmibaby out. Theres a limited market on NQY-MAN, what with NQY having a relatively small catchment of people, and WOW seem to have got a firm grip on the market that there is.
This is a summer only service and will go again in October.
It was a guess really as price’s are very high on some flights!:)
Hardly surprising given that it’s Air Wales we’re talking about :rolleyes:
The CARDIFF-PARIS BEAUVAIS AND CARDIFF-BRUSSELS seem to be doing well in terms of bookings.
It looks like thses routes could be succesful.
How do you know? 🙂
Swansea has now been taken off the routemap!!!
Good, good. I was getting really worried! 🙂
It’s possible. I mean, it’s a bit much having 3 airlines operating twice daily flights to Belfast. RR haven’t updated their route map to include CWL either. Still doesn’t explain why they haven’t given details of the DUB flights though. Unless they’ve decided to drop that too, seeing as 6G will continue to operate it and FR have upped frequncy to 10Xweekly.
breif bit of news: planning permission has been granted for a new 736 temporary car park to be built on a greenfield site within the boundaries of CWL. It is being built as passenger numbers are set to rise by as much as 20% this year. However it only has permission to stay there for 3 years. The VOG council have urged the airport to build new multistories instead, and airport manager, Jon Horne, has confirmed that a new multistory is the next major building development at the airport, and should be completed within the 3 years.
Trying to book a few seats over to Toronto in March as they are stupidly cheap at the moment, but whatever combination of departure and arrival airports I choose, it only ever kets me depart on 5,6,7 ot 8th of the month!!!
Can anyone else try it for me!
Where are you trying to fly from? It may be that they stop operating for a short period. for example at CWL, Toronto was so successful that they extended twice, far into the winter, then said they were going to operate it in the spring, earlier than it started last year. So they stop flying the winter season, then two weeks later start flying again with the spring timettable. Maybe its like that.
Oh yeh, forgot RNS. On the website they are marketing it as Brittany, not Rennes. Also a bit worried…. although it doesn’t appear on any of the lists or bookable destinations, on the route map SWS has been re-added. It hasent been on there for ages, so why add it now? lets hope they don’t go back down that route.
Yeh its a bit scattered with NQY, EXT, MAN, JER & WAT all having just one route each, but at least they appear reasonably priced and well timed. They have also started calling CWL their hub too, it’s good to see them finally say that, it gives a clear indication as to where most expansion will be
More good news. Not only are they recruiting cabin crew at CWL, but also a marketing exec to mangae effective advertising/promotion, something that Air Wales has seriously lacked in the past, and a revenue & route manager to develop new routes and partnerships, which can only mean they have further expansion planned 😀
To be honest, I don’t think it makes much difference. I mean, if the fuselage shatters, then you’d probably die, they’ve got that right. But equally if the wings shattered, then the plane would go down and you’d probably die as well. No difference really. Either way I think the chances of that happening a zilch.
very interesting but not entirely surprising. EZY already fly to Athens and with Turkey on it’s way to EU membership its about time its air market started to open up.
er, have to say i’m a little confused! CPA?
don’t mind whatever they do, as long as CWL plays a part in it lol
I know that several inbound TravelCity 747-200s had to go via Shannon over the summer to re-fuel, but not sure about scheduled
