We won't know the figures until the CAA stats come out. Generally though KLM has been doing well at Cardiff lately with the flights often full, the arrival of Qatar seems to be helping them. With the extra flights I've seen reported LFs as low as 50 passengers and as high as 100. Hopefully the trial will lead to either bigger aircraft or a 4th daily.
Thomas Cook must be happy with April as they are starting in April again in 2020 and of course Ryanair will be daily from next week which is an added boost.
I used the airport on Thursday for a day trip to Berlin using Flybe and KLM and it was nice and busy but not crammed. The whole airport experience was good and quick both departing and arriving.
