Are you sure it's not just for the Rubgy flights operating between the 8th-12th March 2017?
That's all that is visible in the schedule on the EI website at the moment (unless you can see something we can't?)...
The schedule also shows up to 4 daily flights from BRS on Monday, Thursday and Fridays from November making around 22 departures per week, so would expect this to also change if the DUB flights from CWL return?

I'm told it looks like they may operate a full winter schedule and I expect BE jumping on DSA-DUB may have something to do with it as it happened just after they announced it....

So far EI are not allowing BE use Doncaster or Cardiff to feed their network at DUB

What's the chances that the Jet 2 expansion that is planned and announced today is going to offer some flights ex CWL ?

They say they want to expand their UK airports further and add more to what they serve already.....

Any thoughts or comments ? Surely a "W" pattern is going to be added to somewhere. The Jet 2 Holidays brand is expanding big time and be great to see them at CWL

Never say never but I'm not sure. There's a market from CWL which they could take advantage of but there are also many unserved airports in the UK which may prove to be more profitable. Having said that there is increased competition at these airports.

There is a rumour that a loco is coming to Cardiff next year. It could be Jet2 but if I had to put money on anyone it would be a few more rotations from FR or VY. Not necessarily a base but increased portfolio of destinations or frequencies.

While it would be great for the airport to have a based airline, I hope they don't put all their eggs in one basket to the detriment of the offering of other airlines. FR flying to ALC AGP etc would be the death of VY at Cardiff. They should concentrate on increasing passengers be it from a based airline or visiting airline in order to create choice and competition.

Exactly VY have been good for CWL and we certainly do not want them to be shot in the foot.

Hopefully VY will add something new for 2017....ACE or LPA be ideal or even FCO ?

FR just seem to be happy plodding in with their x2 TFS flights.

Loads of destinations out there such as MJV, IBZ that had good loads with BMI baby.

WW pattern flights are a good option for non based LOCO

FR have Grenoble in the search box of their booking engine from Cardiff. No dates for flying yet though so probably an error unless they're releasing something late.

Grenoble has been on the Ryanair app in the CWL pull down list since one of the Wales Euro 2016 qualifying football matches was held there.

It is not a new route, it is a system error.

On a positive note, they are all pretty good numbers for a Q400 so hopefully the base will be safe once the E195's finally go. VRN would probably be doable on one since they do so with SOU-VRN but I'm not so sure about FAO. May be one for another carrier to take on in the future.

FAO is an excellent load factor, always baffled me why AIH/MYT/TCX dropped it.

The E195's are going to be around for a few more years yet.....quite a good fit and size for CWL.

I wonder if BE are going to announce anymore destinations on top of TXL ? Be great to see an additional aircraft added to the base too.....Q400 or E175 to open up more routes.

Several routes not operating this year:

Vueling and Ryanair flights appear to be doing well load factor wise (no idea of yield but passenger numbers are looking good). Some of the Flybe routes also performing well. Charter appears down over several routes that may have something to do with the political situation in certain places but also mean that they've switched to schedule carriers rather than the traditional packages. The Euros may have altered passenger numbers to other destinations also.

I see that the CWL-LCY BEE flights have started this morning.

A Q400 appears to be in use. Does this mean they have based a 3rd aircraft for the duration of this op?

Some good publicity for it from Cardiff business courtesy of the Beeb:
