Due to this added burden, the Welsh public voted with their wallets and flew out of BRS.
Result can be observed in the pax figures for BRS and CWL respectively for at least the last 20 years.
Did I really see a reference to FlyForBeanz up there? Lord above!!
What is this based upon? The age old tale of CWL's landing fees?
Given that some holidays can be at least £50 per passenger more expensive at CWL, but at the same time you can often find deals equally priced or even cheaper, is this just not simply supply and demand? As the flight fills up, the price fluctuates.
Surely the Airport charges can't be that much higher to warrant the likes of TUI whacking a £50+ pp premium on to a flight. Airport charges don't come anywhere close to the amount that would add up to per passenger per aircraft.
